In this weeks MEA Express, CEO, Peter McDonald bids us farewell with a fitting final article. So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, adieu A fitting heading from a few perspectives. Firstly, this is my final MEA Express article as after almost 3½ years, next Friday will be my final day at MEA. An upfront thank you to everyone who has reached out with kind words of thanks and well wishes. I have truly appreciated those.   Secondly, I recently returned from my first ever trip to Europe – a long planned one – which included a visit to none other than Salzburg, hometown of The Sound of Music, where I got to enjoy some of the movie sites. This song is an earworm that’s living on, and it’s said that speaking an earworm aloud is how you get it out of your head. Job done.   And thirdly, a lot of people have commented to me over the years how they enjoyed the music references I did for a long while when writing these articles, so it feels right that I bring one back for my – dare I say it – swansong piece.
