Final Thoughts

Paschal's Final Thoughts
Well, this is for my beautiful wife and daughters, who I love very much: I played the best game I can play, and I think I did pretty well, and I hope that you're not terribly disappointed in me. I'm sure you're proud of me. I never quit thinking about all of you. I'm ready to come home and see you. It's been an amazing experience, I've met some wonderful people, and made some life-long friends. For a person my age, in my position in life, it's a rare opportunity that you have to experience something like this. You really find out what's important in your life, certainly not material things-right now, we all know we can do without those things, however unpleasant it may be. The people in your life is what's important, particularly your wonderful wife-I've been married for 35 years, and I love her dearly-and your daughters. I have no regrets, I'm ready to go home, see my family.

To the competitors that remain, I wish each of them luck, they're all worthy. And to the other Jury members, I look forward to being part of you in the near future. Thank you again and good night from the Marquesas.
