Kelly sends a big THANK YOU

A sincere thank you to all the members of the Gore Mountain Ski Club for the lovely bouquet, which graces my desk each day here at the training center.  Its glorious yellow brightens the interior of the office, lightening my heart as it hints of spring.  Bob and I have already tapped the delicious Merlot, and yesterday on my desk I re-discovered the envelope that I had started to open on Sunday and then dropped for some interruption!  What a pleasant surprise to find a generous $50 gift certificate and such a nice note of appreciation.  Thank you.  It is nice to be appreciated by so many lovely folks.

I regretted not being able to attend the banquet on Saturday night nor managing to get over to the J5 picnic.  It’s tough to leave when there is a race coming up or going on. I suspect that there will be a number of you who I don’t see again until next fall.  I wish you all a happy summer — stay active, stay healthy.  And thank you again.
