It is with great sadness that I share the news of the passing of our dear friend and colleague, Matt Wagner, who left us on September 7th after a hard-fought battle with cancer.
I will miss his soft voice, our daily calls, and his joy for what he did.
Clear skies, my friend.

And for everyone asking about Iron Flag Part II…
There may finally be some news soon.
