Happy holidays!

[Rick Smith]

Today I asked Rick if I could share the recording with the forum, and he said that would be fine.

You are incredibly talented Rick! This is so beautiful! Thank you Rick from the bottom of my heart. I listened today and now it's an earworm, a beautiful one ...

Kees,

You are most welcome; it is my pleasure.

Take Care,

Rick

That was wonderful Rick. We wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Mike,

Nice looking group of men there.

I believe I see good ol' Winnie the Pooh under the tree.

Take Care,

Rick

Rick first shared this with me about a week ago when he found out that I was frustrated and depressed. It was so beautiful that I broke down and cried at my desk, and the tears washed away my troubles. Rick is very talented, very well-read, and a wonderful friend. He's one of the many blessings that I have found while working at Surratt House. Santa could never bring me a better friend.

Laurie,

Now it is my turn to have tears in my eyes. Thank you for all that you have said.

You have just committed me to next year's docenting with a will.

I retire when you retire.

Rick
