REMARKS BY THE SPEAKER
"We can all remember what it is was like to step into this chamber for the very first time. For some of you it was years ago, and for others it is not yet a memory. We looked around these imposing walls and felt immediately humbled by its history, it's grandeur.
That moment is etched in my mind; as is this one.
I am at once beholden to you, my fellow members, and delighted at the prospect of leading this body during the next two years.
I thank you deeply for this memory.
On behalf of the entire state Assembly, let me extend a warm welcome to the families and friends gathered here today. We are so proud to have you join us on this propitious occasion.
I would like to extend a personal thank you to the five special guests who have joined us today. John Matthews, representing Governor Thompson and Lieutenant Governor Scott McCallum—your years of service have helped this body achieve great things; State Treasurer Jack Voight; Supreme Court Justice Jon Wilcox—your patience and judgement have earned you a seat on the highest bench; Judge Richard Wright—you are a personal friend whom I proudly welcome from my home county; and Reverend Roger Clapp—your spiritual guidance has aided my community in so many ways.
This is an especially important moment for newly-elected Representatives. You have worked hard in the past year to get to this point, and today, the sixth of January, you have reached your goal. Judging by the numbers assembled here, you have considerable support for your endeavors.
We in the Assembly would like to recognize our closest and most loyal supporters.
To my right are four people who will personally feel every responsibility that I have to this body. It includes my wife of twenty four years, Gail, and our three children—Micheleen, Tod and Brandon. To them, and to the members, I ask for patience and understanding as we all learn our new roles together.
