Political Quotes

“Mr. Doggett and I will say a few words, when many, many are in order. Nick Gwyn has been, as our chairman said, a more than valuable member of this staff and a more than dedicated member of this staff. He has been invaluable. His dedication has been endless.

And Nick has devoted over a dozen years to this very purpose. So, if I might say so, we have worked together with Nick, and we just want to thank him for more than a job well done. We have been very proud to serve with him.”
