First, a great big thank you to KTC for his service as poet laureate. excellent job, Kevin. particularly in raising the consciousness thread. Thank you.

And now, our next laureate is someone we have seen grow and mature as a poet over the last years. With a unique, strong voice and the ability to draw clear pictures with words. We are lucky to have him here to share with us. It is a real pleasure to read his poetry.

Please join me in welcoming GODFATHER to the poet laureate post. I'm sure you will serve us well, GF.

One of the best things about AW are that the transitions of such power are nearly bloodless, and the departing ruler is given quarter. I applaud the way that you challenged and inspired us with your intricate, meticulous works, Kevin. I look forward to your inauguration, GF, await your inspirational guidance and famous insightfulness, and apologize on behalf of the forum that Blair House was not made available to you either.
