I very much appreciate our chairman yielding. I, too, want to express our deepest gratitude to Dale Oak and his family for the years and years of work and sacrifice they have put in on our behalf. As the chairman indicated, Dale has worked on both sides of the aisle in the front office, was very helpful to Bill Young, I know, and to myself, and now to David Obey. The people who really deserve our recognition and thanks, however, involve first and foremost Dale's wife, Janet, and their children, Eric and Anna. Thank you all for your great service. Godspeed.
