          AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, THERE ARE SO MANY HOURS THAT GO INTO WORKING THIS THAT PEOPLE REALLY
NEVER RECOGNIZE, AND JUST THE AMOUNT OF TIME THAT THEY'VE PUT INTO THIS FOR THEIR COMMUNITY IS TREMENDOUSLY COMMENDABLE. 
          MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE THAT WHEN YOU DO SIT UP HERE TOGETHER, WE BECOME VERY CLOSE. 
          AND THIS IS MORE THAN JUST US COMING UP HERE AND DOING THINGS WE HAVE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
ONE ANOTHER, AND SO I WILL SUPREMELY MISS THEM.
