Yesterday as I closed the conference, I offered, in my best Amanda Gore-esque way, that "clearly the best thing to happen to me since Sunday night was meeting all of you Hard Rockers"; to which the reply was a deafening "zoot, zoot, zoot" and several "ta dahs." You did it, Amanda! We had an aggressive schedule and objectives.  You set a tone that offered that, by being positive and caring, we can accomplish whatever we set our minds to.  The plans are well on their way to completion. I would be completely remiss if I did not share with you that you struck a chord with the entire group.  And as you know, it was a very skeptical group.
