remarks, including: 1T has been a
pleasure to serve you as mayor OF
Port Clinton and | hope in some
way, somehow / did the things you
wanted done to make Port Clinton
a better place in which to live; to
push it little way along the road
of progress; to make it the kind OF
place where other people would
like to come and make their homes.
Being your mayor has been Won
derful experience and privilege.
It has brought both a sense of
pride in accomplishment and heart
aches-and we think the former
outweighs the latter" ;"
