About six weeks ago I was making out a birthday card for my wife, Sharon, and it occurred to me that I was enjoying a really great life based on failure. In 1982, my marriage of over 30 years failed but out of that failure, I was given a son of who I am very proud and whom I love very much. And he, with a little help from his wife, gave me two beautiful granddaughters [indistinct]. More than that, I was set on the road to find my wife today, Sharon, whose love and absolute dedication to the care and feeding of Carl left me with a feeling of warmth and a sense of well-being for these, my next 80 years. And she brought with her two full-grown children ready for me to love, additional children for my life. My only daughter Sheryl and another son, Steven. Steven went out and found a helper in Lisa and together they gave me three beautiful little granddaughters. And so I look today and see all my friends and my family and I know that I've been blessed. And I thank you.
