Looks like everyone was having a good time at the dinner. Several cute young guys in attndance. :) I wish I could have been there to listen to you speak and to shake your hand for a brilliant career.

Unfortunately the photo with him in it is badly out of focus. In fact it is so blurred that I would have rejected it if it hadn't had him in it.
