We keep in touch with Qasha Klutz quite regulary via e-mail, so we are well informed of his retirement and that Qasha Antwan will take over. I have to say that I think Qasha Antwan is perfect to take over where Qasha Klutz left off. It is not easy to replace someone so special as Q. Klutz! Also, I have to add that Mar Yukhanna Church and all the wonderful people there will always have a special place in our hearts. We hope we will be able to once again become an active part of your lovely parish in the future.
We met Qasha Antwan a couple of times when he was visiting here together with the Patriarch. Both at the welcoming dinner in Norsborg, Sweden, and also when the Patriarch came home to visit my in-laws.
IshtarTV has some pictures from the dinner party: http://www.ishtartv.com/news,3809.html (see if you recognize me <!-- s

I wish they could send me to Chicago and let me study under you and Qasha Antwan ;-) Maybe you can arrange something ;-)
Doh! Seems we are waaaay off-topic now, so I better stop!
