I think it was more of an American style toast, not a pithy Klingon one. At
qep'a' wejDIch the members of my table got up and went over to his table and
toasted him. I don't even remember what *we* said. (DaQtIq? David?). Marc
later addressed the whole group while reading off a napkin. I know someone
made a serious effort to capture that napkin, but I don't remember who, or
whether ghaH was successful in the attempt.
