 Hello, everyone, and sorry I can't be at the event. I'm in China right now, but I am indeed deeply honored to have won the Leonard E. Reed Distinguished Alumni Award. I met Leonard and went to Phi really very early in my life. There were two times. I was actually only 13 years old. The first time my father, who was a Phi associate and a loyal subscriber to the Freeman, he drove me up to Irvington on Hudson in the old days of Phi when it was in the house. And my father decided to take me. I had a chance to meet Leonard and Brian Summers on Sennholz, the Opuses, Percy and Bettina Graves. It was really a fantastic time for me. It was one of my first exposures to the ideas of liberty. That same summer, again, I was only 13, I attended a Phi seminar and heard all of the talks on property rights and incentives and Austrian economics and Mises and Hayek. And here I am now. I'm 55 years old. I'm an economist. I teach Mises and Hayek and ideas of property rights and incentives. So I hope you're glad you gave me the award. Going to Phi was really a big deal in my life at the most important time. It could have come along and Leonard was a great and charismatic man. I loved hearing him talk. And again, I'm honored to have been named by your organization. Thank you.
