I am so sorry that I did not realize that you inheriting the cat meant that your father had passed. After reading you fathers obituary I now know that you are truly your fathers son. If your father was aware of your leadership skills business acumen and the respect that our community has for you he would be proud. I was,very fortunate to work with such a talented and devoted leader....my pleasure . Carol Webb
