HONORARY PRESIDENT TAWES: These gavels are made

11

from African mahogany wood, and the chairmen of these

12

committees will have a really fine momento of the service

13

that they have given to their committees.

Now, in the Committee of the Executive Branch,

15

I had the pleasure of serving on that Committee and our

16

Vice Chairman, a neighbor from Wicomico County, was very

17

effective. He was a member of the Study Commission, and

18

while I didn't agree with him on everything that he was for

19

still we got along beautifully, and we are going back to the

20

Eastern Shore and we are still going to be good friends.
