James and Peter did a world to build. Happy, and happiest of fortunes. For those who have stood by me over the years… We can grieve a little, but then we must remember… Superman is still out there. Whatever he stands for is still out there, and the examples he set for us still out there! It’s too late for me to put on the cap, but what Superman stands for will never happen. It’s been fun riding with all of you, onward and upward.”
