Well, it's Friday evening, 1900zulu, and in a few hours I get to hand the office keys to Tony. I figure since everyone will be enjoying the festivities in the main conference room, that I would sneak off, let Don have his night, and very quietly thank you all for your kind words. It has truly been a lot of fun; even the parts that weren't so much fun, because I had the opportunity to work with you; the VATUSA community. There is much good here, and I want to thank everyone for allowing me to be part of it.
To Tony I say, have fun. Keep your feet on the ground and remember your job description. More importantly, realize that your words now carry much weight, both what you say in public and what you advise privately. You must choose them carefully. The only advise I would give is something someone once told me. Take your job seriously but not yourself.
Good luck Tony.
