No, George, I then did not ignore it; I continued to take it. It was well intentioned, it was useful and in fact I did use it. Ruth, I wish you well in your next career. I know you will continue to make the mark that you have made in here in your next career. You will continue to do the work as diligently and be as hardworking as you have been in here in your next career.

I appreciate the opportunity of having had the privilege of working with all three—Linda, George and Ruth. It has been an absolute delight and privilege to work with you all, to have had the relationship we have had in here and to be able to wish you well in your future endeavours. Thank you very much.
