NESC Team
Ann joins me in our deep gratitude for the honor bestowed in such a wonderful evening with the community of NESC friends and, I hope, future friends. A number of guests lucky enough to attend remarked to me yesterday that it was very different from most of the dinners of this ilk. The spirit, the friendship, the lively banter and the talks all spoke of a bond based on respect for your organization and accord with the values spoken of by Marv, Bill, David and even by me.

The bowls will forever remind us of this evening and we will remember NESC again and again with our support for the good work for the bevy of non-profits who benefit from your work. Ann has already put the pair of bowls to glory of hibiscus blossoms and there will be many more blessings of flowers and fruits within their crystal confines.

Many thanks for the honor, the hard work on the gala and for the bowls.Also thanks and praise to the Alley Cats. I hope that "Affirmative Action" is still permitted to grace such special musical talents with admission to Yale!
