It seems incredible to me that a year has come and gone so quickly (this is the call of the old fart club), but never the less, 2008 is coming to a close…fast. And in this my last note from this seat I would like to turn from the doom and gloom and instead point out a few things (but not all) that I am thankful for:
* I am thankful for my best friend and “favorite” wife Nancy. I hope that I can keep her fooled into staying with me for another 25 years!
* I am thankful for a wonderful, caring and healthy family on both sides of the isle.
* I am thankful for a great group of talented, passionate, artistic and committed trade partners that together help to create the Mark Anthony Homes products and services.
* I am thankful for this great country and for the dedicated men and women of our military and their families.
* I am grateful to the dedicated and wonderful leadership of the SCVHBA. I have greatly enjoyed working with all of you this past year! Your passionate dedication is invigorating and infectious. We are all in good hands with these people at the helm!
* I am grateful to the wonderful members of this association for their sacrifice and dedication to their craft and industry through a very difficult downturn. Your continued support is greatly appreciated and noted!
And now I am out of time and room; but, one last wish for all of you this Christmas season. I wish for all of you that you would take time to reflect on what truly matters and take a few minutes to tell those you love how much they mean to you. I have with you; so one down, a few thousand more to go…
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Always!
