Thanksgivings
to the Districts of Saigon, of Paris, of Baltimore, and of San Francisco,
to my Professors, yet my Brothers and to all of my beloved Brothers
"for welcoming me among you as your brother,
educating me and supporting me,
accepting me to be a member of your communities,
and allowing me to participate "together and by association"
in your Education Mission of young people according to the charisma of our Founder De La Salle."

Thanksgivings to my Friends, former Students and present Students
"for being with me in every circumstance of my life because We All are LASALLIANS."
