“it was truly a great event, and, Bob, you graced us all with being there, and your remarks were incredibly touching. And for those of you who missed it, you really missed a wonderful, wonderful evening. This was the seventh dinner. We have honored in the past Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman, Lee Hamilton, Lynn Martin, Norm Mineta, Dick Cheney, and Don Rumsfeld, and this is the seventh in a row. We have been successful. We have grossed probably well over a million dollars now. I think it has become an annual event in Washington. It is a fun dinner. Jimmy Hayes spends a year collecting memorabilia which we can get, which is a lot of fun, and some valuable things are there. We had over 450 people at this dinner. It was sold out. You could not get a ticket. So get your tickets early for next March when we will have the next dinner. It takes a lot of work. We have a number of people that really do so much. It is a team effort. It takes about 9 months to put together.”
