Five, four, three, two, one.
All right!
[clapping] We're kicking off a milestone event in Duluth, Minnesota, and that is the 50th anniversary of the Lake Superior Railroad Museum.
The vision started in 1960 and in 1973, they incorporated.
It's 50 years later.
We've been recognized by USA Today as the best transportation museum in America.
And I think 50 years proves it.
Don Shank, Leo McDonald, Wayne Olson, Frank King, Shirley Swain, they had this vision.
Beyond the Railroad Museum, a vision of saving this old building, making it an arts culture and history center, bringing in all the nucleus art organizations from the community and setting up the Saint Louis County Heritage and Arts Center.
We are the heart and soul of arts, culture and history in our region.
And I think if the Founders were here today, [pause] they'd be awfully proud that they started something like this.
And I think they'd be even happier that it's continued with the work of others to get us here today.
So I see the next 50 years as being more exciting than the last 50 years, and we accomplished a lot in that time.
