I first met Dr. Alan Middleton through AMA Toronto when we started the Marketing Hall of Legends Awards in 2003. We then worked together laughing the AMA Toronto Mentor Exchange Program and sat on the Advisory Council for many years.

Alan was a great Mentor to me and eventually became 'my boss'. When I retired from IBM in 2009, I started working at SEEC. I would have never experience this 10+ years working for such an amazing organization under his leadership.

Alan, this is not good bye. This is just 'best wishes' as you move into your next chapter in live. I am so grateful for the friendship we have shared. It will continue, for sure!
