Hi, Xavier, Bobbie! I hope I haven't missed any contacts... but did you
have any feedback from your feelers?

The UCC clearly has a rich and important history and I do not feel capable of doing the project justice within the time and budget constraints.

Candidly - was the larger issue time? or budget?

If budget: would extra paid time over the next three weeks make any
difference to your decision or that of your contacts, below?

If it was mainly an issue of time; let me confirm that:

- the amount of draft words done is completely flexible, just something
  to start the conversations on the anniversary dinner night, Saturday
  2024-09-21.

- we have no problem at all if you need to head off for a bit on
  2024-09-22 as you mentioned; and then come back when you're ready
  to help us incorporate any interviews from that anniversary dinner,
  by when we'll have all the video transcribed for you.
