Well, another year has come and gone.  Whew, where did it go?  It flew right by me.  I think we did pretty well considering all the trials we went through.  I want to give a BIG THANKS to all the board members and the committee members for all their great help.  If not for them, we could not have accomplished all that we did, and what a great job you did.  Mere words cannot tell you how much I appreciated your support!

         Thanks to all of the graduating seniors.  I'm going to miss you as you go off to the real world, but remember I expect to see you come around the Instrumental Program as alumni and help wherever you can.  You now realize how much support it takes to make this program work, and I know you will all have great success as you go forth in life from what I have witnessed over the last four years.  You know what determination and dedication is and you all exemplify that courage.  I couldn't be prouder of you, as if I were your own parent.

         To everyone who is still in the program, next year we are going to continue to have fun as we go forth to bigger and better things.  So I expect everyone to pitch in and help make next year a great year too.  I also look forward to seeing everyone at the awards banquet.  If we have never met, please come up and introduce yourself.  Also, please watch for details on upcoming events.  Next year is lining up to be a fun-filled great year too.

         In closing, a great big thanks to everyone for all the support you have given Mr.  Rausch, me, and the Instrumental Program.

         Thank you...
