Thank you for that very generous and very wonderful introduction. I know who he was talking about, and part of it, i didnt recognize you, allen, at all. You know, i just want to thank all people who have been mentioned this morning from t s this. I want to thank all of you for taking time from your very busy scheduled to be here today. There is no question that this has been a work of love by allen and me and all the hundreds of others who have been involved. Ill tell you, this morning when i walked in and walked into the portion of that display of what t it looked lieke when we first arrived and what it looks like with improvements that were made by the residents of this camp it really hit very very hard. You know, i met Allen Simpson here as a boy scott in 1943, and i was thinking, allen, we are back under a tent again. Ours was smaller. Ours was a lot smaller. I could always say i first met allen when he had hair and he was rolly polly. Since hthen he lost his hair and rolly polline
