YHC took us out

Thanks to all the men of F3 and particularly those of Gastonia for paving the 43 feet I have been traveling down for the past two years.  I appreciate the push, pull, encouragement, advise and candor that have been given along the way.  This journey may have made me less of a man in some respects, but it has made me a better man in the ways that matter.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
