When I moved hither in eighth shape my plan was to go back to live with my Dad in Washougal to be with my friends that I had for ages. But I stayed, I got to know you guys, and heard stories nearly you and your life-long friends. And I even got implanted in some of your memories. Actually, in this course cheerleader ... who was it, oh Jason Jons wrote something proving this in my yearbook. This is what he wrote, Theres too oftentimes to be said here man. Weve been friends sine 7th GRADE. (Eyebrows and smile.) Remember those times, app bently not, with the bass rebels. Now Jason who are they? Something along the lines of Desperado. Then he continues to tell me how I shouldnt anything especially that which Ive never experienced. But along with all the stories and memories, I learned so much more from all of you. Burke you taught me how to work hard and work with confidence, and for those that know Burke they know that confidence is not something he is in fiddling supply of.

But these graduates here tonight, the people that I am honored to call my class with aide of each other excerption themselves up, smile, and know that tomorrow is coming with a promise, a promise that if we do not relent we will succeed.
