Hi friends,
Of course I am sorry I couldn't be there tonight, but I've come to the sure and profound realization that Alberta's tar sands will not get built without my very highly developed insulator skills.
But I did want to say something to those of you who could make it to say "Bon Voyage" to Kristen and Brandon. As I thought about this time together I thought it was very significant that as you look around the room most of the people are old enough to be Kristen and Brandon's parents, and some of you could be her grandparents, well maybe not quite, Lloyd! And Kristen in particular, did not invite you out of some sense of duty or obligation, she genuinely wanted to be with you all, enjoy your company and conversation and laughter. Some people say that young people don't respect the older ones. Well tonight we put that myth to rest. There is also no way to calculate the impact you have had on these young people and as a result there is no way for Eunice and I to say thanks for the gift you have given us as a result. But we do say thanks and praise be to God for each of you.
Well enjoy yourselves and have a Coke on me.
Thanks friends,
Dennis
