(clapping.) it's rather than eir relic i think that harry is on the postage stamp i think it's wonderful and i thank you. the post office for allowing this to happen, if you will, but during our campaign we printed one brochure but we didn't have the postage to be able to mail it so we had to hand-deliver all the brochures around the district with the hilton san francisco who knows how many of those actually got delivered. i think harry is with us here today shining down on us and i think it's absolutely wonderful that harry is going to show up in mailboxes around the country and as mayor ed lee said it's going to be forever. thank you. (clapping.) >> thank you, ann. you know, in 1979 we had our first memorial recommends for my anile i was in school in washing
