That's all right. It was expected.
Thank you.
Briefly—because you did step into the role—thank you on behalf of the committee for the work you're doing. It needs to be underscored that you had huge shoes to fill—impossible ones—and we all know that, but you've done a fantastic job, John. We appreciate it very much.
I know it interfered with your personal plans, and for those of us who are familiar with those plans, it certainly says a lot that you continued your public service to make sure that we had someone of your calibre until we could make a permanent replacement.
Thank you, again, so very much.
