Patrice Moriarty started this morning as our newest animator.
She'll be sharing Kris Moser's office until the new construction
is complete and we all play musical chairs. She was recommended
to us by Rusty Dawe and Kelly Turner. She's a member of the
Society for Creative Anachronism and has a special interest in
fantasy role-playing games. She says she's delighted to be here. 
Feel free to stop by and say welcome. You might see her later
today when I take her on the usual welcoming tour.

   Also, unfortunately, some of you have been missed as the other 
new animators got their tours and orientation. (You know how busy
we've been.) To help those who want to introduce themselves: 
the cubicle next to the common area is now being shared by 
Jason Leong and Kole Lasekan, and Ron Seawright is in the space
next to Chris Downend's office (the one that used to be Will's). 
My apologies to those who were missed on earlier introduction expeditions.

   Welcome to all!
