Council Minutes of 12/18/2001 one inch thick, cut it in half, cut each piece three times, reversed the grain, glued all six pieces together-put it through the sander 30 times-finished and hand sanded it put it together, stained it and varnished it three times. Just as much satisfaction as writing a good brief or winning an important case. I retire with no regrets. I think I have finished the race and won the trophy. I owe so much to my wife Gayle and my children, Danette, Kelly, Michael, David and Allison. My wife was at my side assisting me to accomplish a lifetime career that I enjoyed so much. My children also, although going through the rigors of public life, never once complained. I have been blessed. I will miss you all but will never be too faz away. As a take-off on General McArthur when he was recalled by President Truman from Korea-Old lawyers never die, they just lose their appeal. Thank you." Finance Director Copfer made the following comments: 1) To Mrs. Saringer: "I would like to congratulate you on your yeazs of service as a public servant. I know North Olmsted is a better place because you've been here. I want to thank you for caring enough to get involved. I know that does take slot-a commitmerrt. Being a working mom, as you were, it does take a lot from your family and they sacrifice as well. It has been a pleasure serving with you." 2) "Mr. Gazeau, it's with much regret that your last Council meeting that we joked about, which seemed so long ago, is finally here. I can't imagine how it feels to be a part of such a rich history of making North Olmsted what it is today-seeing it go from a quiet, rural community to the hustle and bustle of today, especially around this time of year. The residents of North Olmsted have been very fortunate to have had you here helping in that process. I personally am grateful to have had an opportunity to serve with you these last four years. You've taught me much by both your word and example, and it has been an honor and a privilege. I will miss you and hope you enjoy your life as a private citizen." 3) She wished all of Council a very blessed Christmas.
