to introduce. I have my circuit judges here. Of course, being they sign my pay sheet I definitely want to recognize my circuit judges. Judge Walker is here and Judge Terry is here and, of course, Judge Vlahos is on the bench. We have magistrates here, we have district courts, we have sheriffs here from other parts of the state. Just too many numerous guests to introduce personally, but we want to extend a very, very warm welcome to you to Hancock County.
It is indeed a pleasure for me to introduce the guests here this morning. The first of which I consider comes from the old school. He, along with Judge Russell, who is just truly, and Judge Griffin, who were just truly great friends of mine, who knew me when I was a very small teenager when I came to the courthouse 25 years ago. But this gentleman first is a dear, dear friend, and I love to hear his stories, and he has many, many to tell. And I've learned a lot from him and have a lot of respect for him, and that is the Honorable Boyce Holleman, attorney.
