TO THE PRECIOUS FEW<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To them today I raise a toast.<\/font>
\n To those who give us all the most.<\/font>
\n To each intrepid challenge host<\/font>
\n of which the CPC may boast.<\/font><\/p>\n

‘Twas never such a loving few<\/font>
\n for whom in heart affection grew.<\/font>
\n Through thick and thin they carry through.<\/font>
\n The CPC’s stouthearted crew!<\/font><\/p>\n

Man never knew more loyal sort,<\/font>
\n whose fortitude has held the fort.<\/font>
\n Nor none more sweet in word consort.<\/font>
\n A ship in every shining port.<\/font><\/p>\n

So here’s to you from grateful me:<\/font>
\nMichelle, Angel, Diane,\u00a0 Bettie, <\/font>
\nJon, Barbara, Cynthia, Cherie.<\/font>
\n I hope that we will always be<\/font>
\n the best of friends in poetry!<\/font><\/p>\n
