It's a little sad, but it's bittersweet.
All right. As we all know, Deanne told us about a year ago that she was going to retire. And we kind of nudged her to stay a little longer, and she did. But now it's finally time. So what Deanne loves the most is proclamations.
She just wants to get the PowerPoint up. Sorry. Sorry. So what she loves the most is proclamations. You can keep talking.
Not from here. I need a mic.
