You are the eyes, ears and vanguard, a lot of things that you are privy to know will be based on your own maturity, professional judgment, goodwill and integrity to determine what needs to be deciminated, I leave it up to you, you know your training and what you are suppose to do. I assure you that we are going to work very closely together as friends and family.”
