Default A farewell note.....

Guys (and Gals),

I’d like to take this time to inform everyone that after a long and mutually beneficial relationship with Airflow Research (AFR), the time has finally come for me to be the master of my own fate. I will be pursuing an exciting new adventure running my own company.

This Friday October 24th will be my last day at AFR and the last day I will post under this screen name. The close to fourteen years I have spent at AFR have been exciting, challenging and very rewarding and while AFR will always be family for me, its a bitter sweet departure but one that holds promise and new challenges in the days and years ahead.

Of course all of you will continue to receive the same level of high quality products and excellent customer service that AFR is known for. It's been a privilege to have been involved with AFR and a privilege to have gotten to know a lot of you at the same time. Its been a great run.....see you soon as the next chapter unfolds!

Sincerely,
Tony Mamo

PS....While I'm not at liberty to discuss much details of my transition here, I will be posting under a new screen name very soon (just “Tony Mamo”) where I can better elaborate about my new venture and provide all of you with my new contact information.
