David,

I am sad to hear that you are leaving, do wish you very well. If you or Carol need help locally, I am 10 minutes away.

I am sure you will find the West an exciting place, although Utah is interesting-Salt Lake is more cosmopolitan. I trust that you will continue singing and find the Far Western District exciting as I had.

If you get a chance, give me a call on my cell.

Subject: [CardinalDistrict] Farewell (for now)

To all my friends with in Cardinal District

It is with mixed emotions that I must say farewell to you all.  I have just recently accepted a new position with my company and this position requires that Carol and I move to Salt Lake City, Utah.  I am reporting for work on January 8, 2007 and Carol will join me permanently when we get our house sold and all our possessions moved.  I am not sure when I will be able to see anybody before I go, so I am forced to say my goodbyes via this email.  I will miss all of you dearly.  The Cardinal District is my home and will always be.  I have so enjoyed being a part of this District and developing such great friendships with so many of you.

Since I have not been able to convince my three quartet-mates to move with me, Quartizzle will be officially disbanding at the end of this year.  I am really going to miss singing with Drew, Jeff and Aaron.  I have come to think of these three terrific guys as brothers and not just quartet-mates.  THANK YOU for all the kindness and support you all have shown the quartet these past two years.  What an incredible ride.

I look forward to seeing as many of you as I can at future Internationals.  Thank you again.  You all will be deeply missed.

Yours in Song

David Bjork
