I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for letting me be a part of the first annual Greg Susong Memorial -- I feel truly honored to have been a part of this wonderful award that honors the memory of such a wonderful person.

Andy & Mike who spear-headed this award and raised all of the funds necessary (with the help & donations of so many club members) to make that night so special. I was lucky enough to sit with Greg's mother & father, Jan & Bob, for a dinner on Thursday -- they are just so wonderful. And I know that they were just so happy to know how much their son is loved & missed. Thanks, Andy...thanks, Mike. And thanks to Carol, Lauren, Robert, Kathy & Ross for being such a big part of this.

And to Charles Kaplan -- congratulations. An award well-deserved & I will ALWAYS envy you & future winners of this honor for having your name on that award.
