dan white, like george moscone, grew up in san francisco, but where is george grew up in the morning, dan who grew up in the southeast corner of the city and those faded neighborhoods where if you stand on the hilltop and look down over the visitation valley, you can see sheets and underwear flapping on hundreds of clothesline all of the sheets well-worn. he had absolutely no background in politics. he had been -- he had wanted to be a writer, he had become a policeman, he had become a fireman come eventually he became a city supervisor. but he only had a high school the education, and therefore, he brought with him to the city hall a kind of high school civics idea of how politics was conducted. dan white was very naive coming and he thought the way that would work in the board of supervisors was that every supervisor but forward his ideas, and the best ideas would prevail. george moscone and harvey milk knew better than that. the new the idea that would prevail was the idea that had six votes because they were living members of the board of supervisors and that in order to be succes

there wouldn't be streets and buildings named after harvey and george. but other than that i don't think it really would be a different city. a lot of time has gone by. history flows forward, and things go on. and i don't see that on a daily kind of basis it makes much difference. in fact, we've got district elections again, right? i mean, they're back in again. i can never keep track. i don't live in the city anymore. it's such a pity i don't get to vote for the board of supervisors. but i can never keep track of when their in and when they're out because it seems to be a constant back and forth. but i honestly would say that i don't know of any differences that we would feel in our lives today if this hadn't occurred except for those few names and so on. anyone disagree? someone want to make -- give a better answer that be that? -- than that? that was a pretty weak answer.

you get this feeling of love that flows through so george washington and his father, george is a little boy walking with his father and talking about the beauty of the trees and plants and the creation d.c. about them, and they come across this package, this cabbage patch and george looks at the cabbage and he says wow, the cabbage have sprouted and they say the name george washington and his father had planted them that way and so the father goes on to say let's talk about the creator. let's talk about where we come from. and again, it is a very gentle. he's not wagging his finger and swatting at him and telling him what to think. she is inspiring him to think. and the cherry tree story is the same thing. it's a very gentle story about george washington learning the lesson of truthfulness. this painting that you see here is a satire created by a man named grant wood in the 1930's. it's called parson weems's table. this is a very different era and as you can see. it was a very cynical era, and it was a time when americans were tended to look back on these legends with a lot of contempt

george and mary established the everglades trust and the everglades foundation, and then when george died in a very tragic death back in 1995, thom joined with mary to make sure that george barley's dream of a restored everglades became a reality. thom was an active member of the republican party, but i can tell you that the friendship between us, partisan membership didn't mean anything. we had a personal friendship, and you could often see that as he engaged in public service, but that was especially so when it came to the preservation and the restoration of the everglades. and his success extends other than this community and country service to a career in private practice, one of the founding partners of rumberger, kirk and calwell, and under thom's leadership, the firm's modest beginnings were quickly surpassed as it moved to all kinds of new legal successes. and today, that firm includes 75 trial attorneys in five offices all across several southern states. and, of course, he has been listed as one of florida's super lawyers every year for the last several years. you know, the
