Even though I don’t live in your county, your leadership and writing have been an inspiration to me. Thank you for your gifts. I came across your comment “if you are on fire people will come to watch you burn.” I wish we lived a few miles closer so I could warm my hands on your flames! Congratulations on serving so well for many years.

I don't live in your district, and I know you only through your writings, but I'm convinced that what this country needs is more thoughtful citizens committed to work for the betterment and common good of their community. Thank you, Brent, for all that you have done over the years. We're no doubt a better place because of you and people like you. Merry Christmas and all the best in the new year.

Thank you Margaret. It takes a lot of people to keep the wheels on the wagon and there isn't much glory for most of them.

Best wishes.

I think John Wesley would definitely approve ! I can't begin to think how many meetings all that service must have added up to ! I, too, have reached the stage in my life where it is time to back off on some of my organizations and associations ( though on a much smaller number than yours).

You've done good-
