simple statement but an important one to carry everyday many of us get stuck in reality was is possible and not but vieira was pushing the boulders and in that sentence why can't change it is a question she held everyday and fought to make sure the answer was yes so i want to congratulate again, the folks that make that possibly doug schumacher and shaurn and barbara were here everyday the project was a reality so thank you (clapping) of course, to barry for the vision with the st. anthony's foundation and board and staff to enlighten more than a dining hall but a place to find employment and access to tech
