12 what is right, he has set the bar high for grassroots individuals.

16 took it personally; now, therefore, be it

18 expression of tribute to commend and thank the Honorable Neil

22 Representative Neil Friske as evidence of our deepest gratitude and
23 best wishes as he leaves this legislative body.
