All good things must come to an end. It's a bitter truth few know better than the people in this room. But I've learned another truth in my life: Sometimes, something good must end so that something great can begin. And I believe that's about to happen here as I swear in your new captain. Judson Ryder. Would you raise your right hand? Do you swear to support the Constitution of the United States and the great state of Texas? I do. Do you swear to faithfully discharge the duties of the Austin Fire Department according to the best of your abilities? I will. Then congratulations, Captain Judd Ryder of the 126!
