Hi everyone,

I sat in the audience yesterday to watch you pour your hearts and souls into the minds of all those who were there because they loved you. I’m not sure you even know how difficult and brave it is to do that — to share something so deeply personal and yours with an audience. Thank you. And to the grade nines . . . the future of writing and the love of words is alive and well at FJR.

Congratulations to you all. You are missed. And congratulations to you, Mr. Stidham, for doing such an amazing job.
