Please, please join me in congratulating my father - Mark Richard Patterson - on this momentous day, his last official day at the office! Rarely does one meet an individual like my Dad: gifted and generous, determined yet patient with an discerning appreciation for both the satirical and the serious. For as long as I can remember, my father has been the hardest-working man I know, bar none: I am so proud of his accomplishments, so grateful for his patience but also excited for his future, with my mother and his lifes partner, Elena. Oh there is blessing in this gentle breeze, A visitant that while it fans my cheek Doth seem half-conscious of the joy it brings From the green fields, and from yon azure sky. Whatever its mission, the soft breeze can come To none more grateful than to me; escaped From the vast city, where I long had pined A discontented sojourner; now free, Free as a bird to settle where I will. -William Wordsworth, The Prelude, 1850
