And we started handling that instead of bootlegging cases and processed those cases. But anyhow,' we think that we have done a pretty good job and we're still continuing to do it. And as long as I'm able to work for these good guys here I guess I'll continue to without you hanging me again. Let me tell you this one little story in closing. Let me tell you a little story.
A few years ago I was a Christmas speaker at one of our correctional centers, and after the dinner and after I got through with my speech the superintendent and I, of that penitentiary, we walked through the pen. And in walking through the pen I happened to see on the very shoulder of this prisoner, "born to lose." Well he did.
And as I say today, when I finally retire I want it said of me he was a gentle man, a patient and understanding judge, a winner. Thank you so much.
