Jerry and Kay,

We really appreciate everyone's assistance in putting together such a wonderful party for us! Jerry, you and Bob did the usual very professional job on the program. You guys were just great. Jeff, Kathy, and all who helped were the greatest also. We received numerous compliments about how the whole evening proceeded.

Thanks for sharing your pictures from the evening. I am so thankful and blessed to have so many family, friends, and co-workers take time to attend the retirement party. Sharon and I are so grateful to all who attended.

Fred
