The words from an old Tom Rush tune play on through the night, its words so true by morning their memory still rings in my head.br / br / Thanks for all you have done. It might sound hollowbr / I know you’ve tried to keep me from the coldbr / Thank you for the good times that we have knownbr / But I must find my own road now to followbr / You will all be welcome in my homebr / br /The experience of throwing on the MOD-adorned Helly Hansen jacket has been something I’ve been proud of since the first day joining the program. I hope to see the team blossom and bloom even more from a little bit farther afar.br / br /Scott I know you well enough to know you might worry away a bit of the day thinking I’m walking away from this team and place. But that is not the case. I am striding purposely, confidently to all that awaits. I am going back to a combination of skiing and school that I know for me is exactly what I need, from this day going forward. Now is not the time for me to hesitate, or be late. br / br /I would really life to thank Scott Johnston and Midge Cross for opening their hearts and home to me, to Sam and Erik, my teammates who are more comrades-in-arms. To the Methow Olympic board members, the donors, and the supporters that stretch from Mazama to Scandinavia, you all deserve more than the thank you I can give you right now.br / br /I hope we all can celebrate the good times. I leave this team and this town with my head held high. Like the lyrics of the song say, “You are all welcome in my home.”br / br /To the best of times. And those that will be.br /-Torindiv class=”blogger-post-footer”img width=’1′ height=’1′ src=’https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2910103639238326543-3542394142503247595?l=methowolympicdevelopment.blogspot.com’ alt=” //div
