Thanks for your reply.
It must be tough to have made it so far in a dream vocation, only to miss out.
From "Field of Dreams"...
Ray Kinsella, speaking to Dr. Archibald "Moonlight" Graham: "Fifty years ago, for five minutes you came within... y-you came this close. It would KILL some men to get so close to their dream and not touch it. God, they'd consider it a tragedy."
