|

colleagues; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Although retired from IBC since December 2012, this |
|
|
esteemed industry veteran continues to share his expertise as chair |

|
|
WHEREAS, For more than 25 years, Mr. Bothe has benefited from |
|
|
the love and support of his wife, Lorene, and his blended family of |
