Ben It was my pleasure work next to you for years. The fact that you befriended me as a single dad with 2 young kids was a testament to your understanding of parenting. Becoming a Golfing buddy and shooting range partner was a bonus I never anticipated. From including my family into your Autumn driveway concerts and our Florida vacation is something no one else came close to. We will miss you and Ginny can count on us. Steve and Annette
