Sandra and Kellyjo are at the standard committee table.  They hug each other to ease their nervousness.

It's good news, no, it's great news!!!  It's unanimous vote, it's the best presentation ever, it's exemplary status, … it's a super pass!    Broken Satin Angora will be a new variety as soon as the next issue of Domestic Rabbit is published.

Charlene hugs the COD team members Joyce, Sandra and Kellyjo.   The three team members are excited and happy, Charlene has a mixed emotion; she started the process 25 years ago with the support of her daughter Laika.  Today she witnesses the success of the current team, however, Laika is no longer with us.  It's bittersweet.
