i hate the fact that joe moakley isn't with us anymore. i know life changes and i hope you a great retirement and i hope you enjoy your wife. my wife is also a barbara. and there is no r's in there. you don't need that letter. it's an extra letter, just get rid of it. i hope you have a great retirement. i hope you realize that you always, always, always going to have friends here. i don't care where i am or where your if there is anything i can do to help you or your family, i don't have to say it because i know you know it, it's what we do, it's what we enjoy doing. you're my friend. i don't come to this well very often, as you well know. it's a unique experience tore me. i think most of what is said here is insincere and read off papers. i just want to take a minute to sincerely tell you that i have enjoyed our relationship, i consider you a good friend and i wish you the best of life wherever you go, whatever you do and it's been a joy working with you and i'm proud of the fact that i can call you a friend. thank you for your service, b
