1:57:00
...since my second marriage.
1:57:03
The merger is complete.
1:57:06
The question now is...
1:57:08
...who do we find to run things
up here in Seattle?
1:57:13
And what I realized during this...
1:57:15
...very interesting week...
1:57:18
...is that I have probably
focused too much on...
1:57:21
...breaking the glass ceiling,
finding a woman to run things here...
1:57:25
...when I should have been
looking for the best person...
1:57:29
...to run things here.
1:57:31
Someone whose...
1:57:33
...long service with this company
has established a record...
1:57:38
...of creativity...
1:57:39
...sound judgement...
1:57:41
...and hands-on expertise.
1:57:44
And that person...
1:57:47
...is Stephanie Kaplan.
1:57:55
Congratulations, Stephanie.
1:58:08
I tell you something,
she's the greatest!
1:58:12
Thank you.
1:58:14
First, I'd like to take the opportunity
to thank the department heads:
1:58:18
...Mary Anne Hunter
and Mark Lewyn here...
1:58:21
...and Don Cherry, where are you?
1:58:25
There he is.
1:58:26
And particularly, Tom Sanders...
1:58:29
...who epitomizes the inventiveness
of this division...
1:58:33
...its past and its future.
1:58:35
I'm counting on you to be my right-hand.
1:58:39
Thank you.
1:58:47
We are heading into a new millennium...
1:58:50
...a new time.
1:58:52
You a chemistry major, Spencer?
1:58:56
Yeah, I am.
1:58:59
I know a chemistry professor there,
Arthur Friend. A. Friend.
