i don't know victor mackross is going to show up at this meeting but i want to praise him. victor was an exemplary poll tar yan. it's very necessary with this board, because this board cannot suffer from group think. where you think alike, act alike, vote alike. you can't do this because investments are on the line and we have to get the best possible return. and victor acted on his own conscience and it may have been upsetting to some members of the board but he was an independent person. he shown similar behaviors on other city boards. hopefully his replacement will display the same behavior. so you may not be here but i think he at least deserves this accommodation, thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, claire representing the retired employers of the city and county of san francisco. i'd like to echo what my colleague herb winier said and i wish that commission mack ross was here. the port's gain is our loss. he served well and he has served this city for many years in different commissions but i think he actually was a vital and very significant member of this boa
