He had no sour grapes this evening. Had a few words of advice, at any time if any members of the Council would like to visit with him on things that had taken place in the past he would appreciate it very much. Over the past 3 months he had written about 3 speeches - trashed them all. Wished to say that he was leaving without any regrets, but had regrets that he was leaving a lot of friends behind and was sorry for that. It had been wonderful working with some of the people in City Hall - had all been very co- operative and appreciated that very much. Over the past years he had quite a few people supporting him and he appreciated that very much also. Of all the people that had supported him, one of the greatest was his wife, Vir- ginia. He then introduced his wife to the audience. Stated through all the ups and downs she had been a mainstay for him, which he appreciated very much. Remarked that every- one had their Harvey, who is an imaginary person that you talk to. He had his Harvey and wished to say one thing to Harvey before he left.
