Dear Gary, I know that I speak on behalf of many in the BC that have interacted with you over the many years that you have provided our secretariat services when I say how grateful that I am for your efforts on our behalf! You have been diligent in fulfilling your tasks, while tolerating some frustrated members from time to time without ruffling feathers yourself. I thank you very much for your dedication to the BC and its work in the important debates. I wish you all the best, and particularly a happy and peaceful holiday season for you and yours!
