I want to add my praise for Henry's accomplishments. He's put the Boyhood
Home and Museum on the map. It was there before, of course, but Henry
raised its prominence many levels with the conference, the Fencepainter
newsletter, the steady improvement of the physical facility, and more.
Whoever follows him as Director will have very big shoes to fill.

On a personal note, I'll second what John Bird said. Henry is one of the
kindest, most thoughtful and "sweetest" people you'll ever know.

Even though you're stepping down, Henry, I'm sure everyone is as glad as I
am that you're going to stay around.

Terry Oggel
