[Bessig] BESSIG au revoir

[Mohan Ramamurthy]

Hi Anne,

Thank you for spearheading the BESSIG effort and sustaining it for so 
long. Your desire to move on is totally understandable, but you have 
helped to create a true geoinformatics community in Boulder, but one 
that is recognized nationally as leading group in bringing the 
stakeholders together.

All the best in your future endeavors,

Mohan

A big thanks are due to all who presented over the years, each of whom enabled a meeting to happen.   Also, thanks to those who showed up and engaged.  It was quite fine - every time just the right people showed up!   Nice how that works.   I have thoroughly enjoyed coordinating our meetings and bringing everyone together.   It broadened my horizons, provided stimulating conversations, and made my professional world better and more fun.  I hope it served a few others in that way as well.
