A couple words:
According to an ancient Hawaiian legend there are people, even among us, who concentrate peace and prosperity and spread it, like sun spreads rays. Jay is one of them, truly, like a living talisman. To be in his crew, in the wider sense, is a big honor. Enjoy the show while it lasts!
