Hate 172 00:18:48,57 --> 00:18:54,76 to see him retire but but I know how wonderful retirement can be and I hope but 173 00:18:54,99 --> 00:18:55,77 hope you get in 174 00:18:55,78 --> 00:19:01,53 a lot of fish and and get to play with oh Tor soldiers like I do sound like. 175 00:19:10,85 --> 00:19:15,76 Most of you know Mr ring's served sixteen years and when you heard me said they 176 00:19:15,77 --> 00:19:22,18 were still are one thing I can tell you for sure in three years I will be here. But 177 00:19:22,18 --> 00:19:27,23 . How him so much as a mentor and it took me 178 00:19:27,24 --> 00:19:32,50 a while to realize what he was doing but anything involving finances all he had me 179 00:19:32,51 --> 00:19:37,12 in every meeting of every kind and he was not only teaching me but he was preparing 180 00:19:37,13 --> 00:19:41,26 me for the next county executive and that's what we all have to do is prepare 181 00:19:41,51 --> 00:19:48,45 people to come in and take over work. And closing outside that I have announced to 182 00:19:48,46 --> 00:19:49,76 the parson will be taken to 183 00:19:49,77 --> 00:19:53,71 a spot you don't normally do that but she's in the back named Graham's he'd been 184 00:19:53,72 --> 00:19:57,29 with us twenty one years to come on out here David said the. 185 00:20:05,36 --> 00:20:10,52 Class he's walking up air see has made David look good for all seven to you. 186 00:20:12,04 --> 00:20:17,82 And you normally don't say this to wall him but you've got big shoes to fail.
