Thank you all for your well wishes, and thank you for your support throughout the years.

I had talked to Sergio earlier this week and he mentioned he was presenting the Hall of Fame award, but did not even remember who had been nominated. I just smiled because I had been told the week before that I was going to be inducted and was asked to make an acceptance video.
