Dear Friends, Clients, and Colleagues:
I am writing to inform you that I am retiring from LightWire. After more than 40 years in the design and construction business, and 18 years as an active principal, it is time for me to move on and to turn my energies to other places and interests in my life.

I leave the company in Susan's capable hands as I phase out my ownership position. Susan will continue as the main face and take over all of LightWire. She will oversee all new projects. Debbie will continue to assist her with digital output, just as before. I will be available to answer questions on projects currently under construction and will support them in finishing up the projects currently under contract where I have been the main contact. Our plan is to have me end my involvement as an active principal by the end of 2018.

I hope that you will continue to think of LightWire for all of your lighting needs and will support Susan and Debbie in the same manner you have supported me over all these many years. I am more than grateful for all the successes and fun I have had and appreciate the many contributions you each have made in my support along the way. I am very thankful for all the opportunities and for the comradery we have shared. Without each of you, this just wouldn't have been nearly as much fun.

Thank you again and best regards to each of you -- Denise
