Dear Friends,
Please forgive the expedience of this note. It seems the best thing to do given the time available to me and the largeness of the task I want to accomplish. I want to thank you for the wonderful retirement party on August 3. Every part, bit, piece of the evening was perfect. Lisa and Kate join me in thanking all who planned this event and all who participated in it. Many know how much I love words and what they can do. Every once in a while, though, words fail. What we want to communicate cannot be expressed in them. I believe that this is one of those rare moments. Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough.
Chris
