director john haily to come forward with a couple of operators. >> good afternoon, mr. haily. >> thank you, and good afternoon, board and it is my pleasure to introduce you to two of our finist operators. and first of all, mr. vernin abrams to my immediate right. twice in february we talked a lot about the safety culture alertness, what we all need to do to improve our safety of the system. and mr. abrams is the embodiment of that twice in the month of february. while, operating in the subway, first at powell and then at civic center and encountered a person in the track way. one of the most challenging things for an operator was to make sure that they are able to

see things and react quickly, fortunately for all of us, mr. abrams did in those two cases and we had a very positive out come and the prevention of any kind of a serious problem. so, again, not once, but twice, i want to recognize him for his alertness, and safe driving actions. also, to my far right, is mr. delfin and he is one of those operators who has been with the system for 15 years. and he has worked in three or four different divisions. and as very much the embodiment of the customer service initiative that we all talk about. he is currently on the f-line, where he has lots of opportunities to impress the customers with his knowledge, with his communication skills, and he is doing so on a daily

basis. and so because of his consistent workday in and day out and the extraordinary actions of mr. abrams we are pleased to recognize them and appreciate your support for their work. [ applause ] thank you all, for inviting me here to this recognition. and i appreciate it. and i am deeply humbled. and all of the operators would have done the same thing. you know? thanks. >> on behalf of the board of directors the entire agency and everybody in san francisco, thank you for your outstanding work, we really appreciate it, the best to you. >> thank you. >> well, i am just grateful to be here and i am 15 years healthy to be with the company and so i am totally grateful and i am going to continue to do it and i enjoy. and thank you. >> thank you, we appreciate your outstanding work, on behalf of the board and all of
