I, too, would like to add my best wishes to Anne Holcombe as she leaves and also say farewell to Cindy and Vicky for the work that they have done. Regarding Anne, I was sitting here thinking of the old Irish tune that has the melody of ``When Johnny Comes Marching Home.'' A phrase in there is ``Johnny, we hardly got to know you.'' It just seems like you came last week, and time flies so fast, and we hardly got to know you. You have done so well. You have been very friendly. You have been very particularly kind to me in making sure the podium is at the right height. Your professionalism, your competency is beyond match. So we thank you for your efforts, your hard work. We wish you the very best in your next chapter of life, and do not forget us. God bless.
