and without saying a few words of his own….
I want to thank my family and friends and everyone I have met along the way for whatever you contributed to my life. The places I’ve gone, the people I’ve met and the things I’ve seen; it has all been incredible. And as we part, I would like to share part of an old Irish blessing with you;
May the road rise to meet you, may the wind always beat your back and the sun always shine upon you.
Thanks Jim
