Part 24--Muchas Gracias to All!

I just completed such a fantastic visit with so many people that I will never be able to convey what it meant to me. All I can do is express my sincere thanks for everyone's kind wishes. What an amazing treat to see and talk to all of you!

Of course this never would have happened without the efforts of some hardworking people. Number one in the list has to be my amazing wife Pam. A close second is my sincere and true best friend John Leo. Thanks, too, to Dave and Cindy and to number one brother Russ for making it happen.

And thanks to all the following for their kind wishes.
