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!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
