Dear 90th District residents:

My, how time has flown. I am ending my 18th year as your state representative. It seems like yesterday that I watched the election returns at Moonlight Bay Marina. But now, it is farewell time.

The list of friends has grown mountainous over the time that I have served this district. I cannot possibly mention everyone, but I want to say thank you to my wife and family for allowing me to spend the time it has taken to serve in this capacity. The position did take considerable time away from my family, and that was one of the most difficult parts for Jan, Emily and me. Time is something that a person can never get back.
