      Thank you. What an amazing day! The SCP really showed up big and my many thanks to you all. A special thanks to James Sale who did a marvelous job as the MC. Also, Evan Mantyk was a huge supporter, as was Andrew Benson Brown. I appreciated the smiling faces, the expressions of love, and the encouraging texts I received. I won’t forget it!
