My very dear friends and colleagues,I want to take this opportunity to thank every one of you for the friendship and support and kindness that you all have shown to me and to my daughter Andrea since my wife Betsy passed away. It has been a year-and-a-half now, and the first Christmas Andrea and I have spent at home since then looms. It is very hard to look at the fireplace and only see two stockings hung there. We will do our best, with all of your help and support and faith, to get through this and come out on the other side better and happier. Betsy would want that, and she almost always got what she wanted.In my professional and personal life, I wear many hats. To some of you, I am the editor of Control and ControlGlobal.com. To others, I’m the guy involved in CorgiRescue. To even more, I am a science fiction fan and author, and to others I’m just Walt Boyes, the guy I know from wherever.To my CorgiRescue friends, Facebook friends, my Twitter followers and my friends and colleagues I see in actuality, I want to wish each of you the finest of holidays, be it Solstice and Yule, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or even Festivus-for-the-Restovus. May you have had a year filled with grace and joy, and may you have a fine and prosperous New Year. May you find yourselves blessed in unexpected ways in the next year.Blessed be.Walt Boyes
