Good evening, my name is Lyle and I am an alcoholic.

Need to get the thank yous out of the way.

First of all, JJ picked me up in Omaha and drove me here and we had a lot of conversation.

He'll drive me back tomorrow.

Will was the first gent who got in touch with me and a state in touch with me throughout

this whole thing.

You met the committees and the volunteers, but they're the ones who do the heavy lifting

on this deal.

Just come in, you know, we take a weekend off and jump in the airplane and come up here

and talk, but it's the committee members and all the volunteers that really are the backbone

of this entire thing that allow us to do what we're doing here this weekend and they're

the ones who get the credit for all of this.

I'm grateful to be here.

I try and ever to offend an audience and I don't want to do that tonight.

My number of 90 people here tonight and they always add a special dimension to any gathering

that I'm at because I grew up in that community and I didn't see much sobriety there when I

was growing up.
