Uncle Bill's Travels
If you're interested in catching up with Uncle Bill this summer, you're going to need a passport. Bill will be speaking at PALME Asia in Singapore on July 17 & 18, ENTECH13 in Sydney, Australia on July 23, 24 & 25 and at CITT Rendez-vous 2013 in Calgary, Canada on August 17.

 Speaking of passports, the Long Reach Long Riders annual charity ride is coming up on June 28th. The ride takes place in the Great Lakes region and will spend a day or so in Ontario. Hence the need for passports. You can read Bill's article on the history of the LRLR in the Spring issue of Protocol magazine. The magazine will hit the streets next week. There's still time to donate to this very worthy cause. Please visit
