Gary, all of us here tonight know that headlines and sound bites don’t tell the full story, perhaps not even the real story.

What we do know is that we all have our own “Priceless” stories, ones that are real, not only because of what you do, Gary, but for who you are.

It seems that your personal mission in life is to ceaselessly search for and find what is right, what is fair, and what is true and then to share it with all of us.

And for that, Gary Price, we all salute you tonight.  

All the best, from Barbara Semonche
