  wanted to know what he thought. I wanted to know his experience, and I knew that he could help guide me. We all know Alan is just that guy. He is a man of immense intelligence and wisdom, and there have been been many times where many of us on this council and many members of councils before us have had to lean on him in difficult moments, seek him out as counsel, and he has shown that we are not alone. Every member knows that this from this body that when we have a question, when we need clarity, guidance rooted in experience and wisdom, you go to Allan Wade. And he'll give it to you straight, [laughter] just like it is, and let you know that he usually wins and [laughter] This is why this recognition is so fitting. Because while the while the Power 100 acknowledges influence across Memphis, we have had the privilege of seeing that influence up close. We have seen it in the decisions he has helped us shape, the challenges he has helped us navigate, and the countless ways he has strengthened this body over the years. Alan, your legacy is not just in the work you've done. It is in the people you have guided, the leaders you supported, and the institution you have helped uphold with excellence. And today, we wanted to do more than simply recognize you. We wanted to give you space for others to share just how much you have impacted their lives and their careers. There are several individuals here who wanted to be part of this moment and offer their own reflections. But to you, Alan J. Wade, on behalf of this body and many bodies before us, and I would like to call call up former Councilman Martavius Jones and Shay Flynn, we owe you, the city owes you a debt of gratitude, and we are forever grateful for you, my friend. Together, please join us. Well, first, let me go back. At this time, I would like to ask anyone here today who is present in support of Attorney Allan Wade, including former council members and colleagues, um who had the privilege of working alongside him, please stand and be recognized as we pay tribute to a great man indeed. Together, please join us in honoring Attorney Alan J. Wade. And we also have here with Well, well, first Did I just hear something? Okay. Okay. Will you all please stand and come and join him and You ready? Okay. We have a quick video for you. And so, just you all have a seat together right here, and let's enjoy. Well, well, first of all, uh uh, it it's it's really an honor for me to have the opportunity to express, uh, a few comments about Allan Wade. Attorney Allan Wade. Uh, I met Allan Wade, I guess formally, in, uh, 1992. Uh, I had just entered the office as city mayor of of Memphis. And Alan, uh, was the attorney for the Memphis City Council and obviously, uh, uh, when you're the mayor, uh, you have a lot of relationships uh, with members of the City Council and their legal attorney.
