It means It’s just his signature. It doesn't say ‘best wishes’ or to suchabody. Hope that explains it. it’s book speak - I’ve become a book person doing this volunteer fundraising! It’s very interesting though. I wish I had met Cassin

> it’s book speak - I’ve become a book person doing this volunteer fundraising! It’s very interesting though. I wish I had met Cassin.
The lecture I went to was on one level very dull, with Cassin giving very matter of fact accounts through an interpreter. On the other hand I had to keep reminding myself hat I was listening to a God talking first hand about some of the greatest climbs in history!
