Congrats Dave - fantastic achievement!

I'd like to thank Michael O'Connell who posted up the wonderful news to the IFAS board. It was that post which alerted me to Dave's discovery and I was able to circulate the SDAS mailing list with the details.

Thanks also to Michael Murphy who brought along the Six-One News clip on DVD and played it for all of us at the meeting last night.

Well done again Dave and all involved in the discovery!!!
