Oh, I think it's fitting that we bring up the names Bob and Marcy White.

That was Bob White's joke.

Because they are so important to so many people here and were the ones that got

it together for us to have this conference that many of us were involved in because Bob and Marcy said, you will become involved.

And we did.

I'm sort of like my old friend, Anna Marie here, can you see me?

Because I'm short.

And anyway, what Marcy always said, and this is part of her legacy that I have tried to carry on

any time I've been asked to speak and I'm just going to carry on with what we've been

hearing all weekend are you a blessed child were you a blessed child and are you a blessed person now?

And what we want to say is if you were not one when you were growing up, it was not because your

parents wouldn't give you the blessing it was because they couldn't

and now that you're here

you can get it from the program

you can get it from the fellowship

so I felt like I was

not a blessed child
