Jim, I for one, want to thank you for all the work you are doing on this convention.

I know that I alone have sent you at least a couple of dozen or so emails and have gotten immediate responses to each and every one of them.

My mother, may she rest in peace, use to tell me that if you want something done (and on time,) give it to the busiest person you know and it will get finished. She was so right.

I have little doubt that your job as convention chairman is the most time consuming of any in the organization.

For all of us, I thank you.
