Im gordon freedman. Elizabeth here and i [applause] mr. Freedman thank you. Three or four months ago, we said maybe we should get some people together, and i thought that was a good idea. Then i started trying to find people. It was a little difficult, and then some stuff started happening in d. C. That was vaguely reminiscent to some of the stuff we worked on, and all of a sudden, everybody seemed to want to show up. This is just fantastic. Raise your hands if you were on the committee staff. This is pretty amazing. We said goodbye to each other 43, 44 years ago, and when i got ready to do this, i called jim hamilton, who was my boss back then. I said, i mean it, ill have it in tomorrow. He said, gordon, you better have it in tomorrow. Its like no time has passed. When we broke up i dont know how many of you remember this sam dash had a final meeting. He said this has been the most important thing that has happened in my life and im sure will ever happen in my life and will ever happe
