I would just like to thank everyone who attend the retirement party Wednesday night for Loeky and I and those who could not be there as well. It was truly appreciated by both of us and left us flabbergasted all night. You have provided us with a great memory to savor and think about as we move on to our next life venture. We will miss you all but will keep in touch via email and facebook.
