Excerpt from the jaycees speech

When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero of the comic book. I saw movies, and I was the hero in the movie.So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. These gentlemen over there, these are the type who care, are dedicated. You realize if its not possible that they might be building the kingdom, its not far-fetched from reality. Id like to say that I learned very early in life that: ‘Without a song the day would never end Without a song a man aint got a friend Without a song the road would never bend Without a song…’ So I keep singing a song. Good night. Thank you.
