It is a wonderful day here with quite a few cu’s. Where is everybody to fly? As John Good was saying earlier this morning, it is like the last day of high school, everybody going away and not knowing when we will all see each other again. I hope it will be for the next Seniors or earlier. And hope everybody gets home safe.

I would like to thank everybody here for this amazing competition (contestants, staff, crew, neighbors, students, etc.). For me it has been a thrilling experience, something totally new and exciting. I am very proud of it and I would like to share this feeling with all of you that were involved in any way in this event.

This is my standing ovation for all of you.
