Very well said Jim! I could definitely see you writing an article for the Federationist  sometime.

Jim and All,

Thank you for your kind and gracious thoughts after a bit of time and 

rest--well-deserved all around.  And congratulations to you in advance 

on an interesting and informative forum between Maryanne and Gary; you 

did an excellent job.  I look forward to working with Maryanne, my 

fellow officers and board members, you, and every Federation member to 

build the Federation in Connecticut.

My very best,

Nathanael

In respite, I write, a little late perhaps, but inevitable.

Dear Federation Family,

Just a few reflections on our 2020 Convention. First of all 

congratulations to Maryanne for being elected as President of our 

Connecticut affiliate for a second term. Thank you Gary Allen for 

running a honest and forthright election campaign.

As for our speakers on Saturday, I was floored by their expertise in 

their various fields. The story about the blind business executive who 

led his workers down seventy sets of stairs to safety when the World 

Trade Center was hit is unforgettable. And the list goes on.

Special thanks to Amy Ruell who by now has become a household name for 

many of us. And congratulations to all our elected officers as we 

place our trust in them.

Finally, I have a great deal of gratitude for Maryanne Melley for her 

outstanding show of "grace under pressure" throughout the entire two 

day convention. Thank you Maryanne. We look forward with great hope 

and anticipation for the next two years under your leadership.

warm wishes to all,

Jim Cronin
