| 15. Agree. I've thought of Andy often, especially in these past few weeks. |

I've thought of the delightful time I was able to spend in conversation with him at a coffee place on Westlake in Seattle.
So many challenges await President-elect Obama. But no challenge is greater than ensuring that in two years and in 100 years every single citizen of the Republic not only is able to vote but is able to verify that their vote was counted precisely as they intended it to be.
Andy understood that that was the essential element of democracy. And, he was unselfish and unrelenting in his commitment to that goal.
Peace,
Bob
