And thanks for listening.

This session will end with a special presentation that we have from Benji Swimmer.

As many of you know, originally we had asked Benji to come and speak to us.

And circumstances out of his control made it not possible for him to be here.

But when Anne and John had originally asked him, they had had a discussion about the fact that how great it would be if we could hear Benji's story or watch Benji's story through his favorite medium, which would be dance.

And so his being unable to be with us has allowed that to happen.

We couldn't figure out how to have it happen live in this beautiful venue.

So we are lucky to be able to premiere this screening of an original dance about the emotions of his gay Mormon coming out experience.

And after Benji's performance, that will be the end of this session and we'll have a 30 minute break.

How many of you had a chance to listen to Benji Swimmer's interview?

I just want to thank all our presenters for this session and last.

I want to thank Claudia and Michael and that wonderful young lady Stephanie who just presented to us as well.

But I just want to say something about Benji.

Benji was really sick that he couldn't come.

He was so sad to let us down.

But you know, his career is important and this movie opportunity was something he couldn't pass up.

I feel like getting to know Benji was one of the great pleasures of my life.

I find him to be so thoughtful and compassionate and energetic and entertaining.
