I deeply appreciate the people of Michigan. I love their grit. I love the way they face life. I love the family values they have.
God blessed me by putting me here for thirty-one years at Michigan and Trumbull.
But most of all, I'm a part of you people out there who have listened to me, because especially you people in Michigan, you Tiger fans, you've given me so much warmth, so much affection and so much love.
