Yes, welcome back!
Here's the whole story, people! After PUB 2009, Al put together a commemorative wall clock, that had a face of the Pagoda Clock, and sold it at a very reasonable price. I had this clock on my wall for years, until I moved offices in my home to a smaller room that didn't have the wall space. So, the clock sat on the shelf...
A few weeks ago, a family favorite clock (the Seattle clock) in our home ceased working. Going online to find a clock movement was easy and they were cheap. However, there were so many different ones with different sizes, I was stymied. On a lark, I went to see if the clock movement from the Pagoda clock would fit Seattle. Lo and behold, it was exactly the same. So I pulled the swap, and Seattle was back on the wall working.
I then contacted Al--who had surreptitiously gone missing a while ago, and he told me where I could get a replacement for Pagoda. I then suggested we missed him--for those that don't know him he has a wealth of knowledge and experience.
Again, welcome back Al!!!!!
