Thank you, Mr. President

Dear Cornelius,

Thank you for your kind Goodbye Note, and for the touching photo.

Thank you for the Eindhoven-Oirschot event this year; the Presidents’ dinner in the chapel was uplifting, the gala dinner was sumptuous, and the competition was refreshingly simple in nature’s sylvan setting. This was a memorable gathering.

It was an honour for us to have you as President during all these years, and I speak not only for myself but on behalf of the Pipe Club of Lebanon members who have known you and respected you.

You will be remembered as a Gentleman-President who kindly listened to the issues raised by the CIPC members and dealt with them with care, attention, and professionalism.

All the best, my dear friend Cornelius!
