Chief made a point at Senior Staff how much he enjoyed today’s Turkey Pardoning remarks. I noted it is another Latimer special. And Sully chimed in with praise for the adoption remarks…So take a bow, Matt.

Bill, Thanks for the typically generous comments. They reveal, once again, your great kindness and thoughtfulness. And for someone like me—who sometimes wonders what on earth he thinks he is doing here—your encouragement means a lot.
