i would like to acknowledge firefighter mary reidy and member of the fire service women and a long standing employee group. i was a member of the original steering committee and next year will mark the 30th anniversary of women here in the fire department in san francisco so they put out the call to have active, retired and civilian and uniformed women to do a historical photo and very pleased to say that there were at least 200 or so of us there this morning from nine to 10:30 a.m. and it was great running into some of the women that you know kind of paved the way and are no longer with the department, so we had a good turnout of women to that event, and photos will be made. it was perfect morning out at the field with the golden gate bridge as a back drop so that was wonderful. and i would like to thank you them for that and mary reidy and finally president covington for your consideration. someone that i worked with, not that i ever worked in the bureau of fire prevention but always had a smile on tis face and saw him four days a week when i headed up to my office. he was able to retire
