Comment: I can't tell you how much I appreciate the tremendous amount of

of work you did and I'm sure the stress level was high. The walled garden was incredible; I never felt it created a false sense of reality for me. I saw the media, the debates and the "polls" and none of that surprised me. I also felt that Ron kept things in perspective for us and that I was not naive. I hope you got a tremendous satisfaction out of your contribution - as that's what it was and you should not diminish it in any way.
