[il-talk] Thanks for a great 2014 convention

[Glenn III]

Here, Here, that thanks Denise was moving, and I second that emotion, it
did feel like the best convention yet (but doesn't it kindof feels that way
every year?), and I don't just say that because it means I won't be
counting beans for a while.
I really look forward to great new challenges as Secretary, and want to
thank again Debbie Pittman for handling the mantle before me, and being a
great asset to NFBI.
I too want to thank and congratulate all the members of our new board for
their prior and future work, it's a really great team we have.
And since I didn't get to say so out loud at convention, I want to really
thank Pat Olson too, for being a wonderful registration table boss for me,
ha ha, it was fun working together. It was great meeting with all my
favorite federationists again this year (Ps. that's every one of you)!
