In full: "A teaching commitment kept me from the annual meeting this year. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be there to join others in welcoming you to the Presidency of the Guild. I look forward to working with you on contract matters. Geography keeps making it hard for me to attend as many meetings as I'd like, but I'm constantly on the phone with Irwin and Peter, and you can count on me to give time and work to our cause.
