George,
After reading this post I can fully understand how you have earned the respect of your family. Heck, I'm proud of you and we have never met. I would agree with Kevin but would like to add only that what has made your family proud will also serve you well in other industries. Integrity is still in demand in this country and hopefully will always be.

I can't resist adding a favorite quote from one of our founding pioneers. Like you, he was an honest man who found himself in an increasing dishonest profession.

"Since you have chosen to elect a man with a timber toe to succeed me, you may all go to hell and I will go to Texas". Davy Crockett
