[laughter] >> president buell: wow. geez. >> that grand plan, fortunately, hard elements, not only that happened, but did not happen. which is often the case with master plans. i don't believe, nor does friends of washington square, believe that there's any reason to delay this project. it is the first time we have had an opportunity, as i said, since 1957 to address long-overdue issues in the square, and recognizing it is one of the most historic parks in our city. fortunately, it did escape the fate of union square and portsmouth square with the installation of underground garages, due to the late mayor, jack shelley jack who unfortunately lost his bid for reelection by vetoing that project for washington square. is one of the few in the city which is the ground for the first woman born in san francisco. it was her atlanta that the city traded for washington square. there is no reason in my view to delay or phase out this project. the department has worked as diligently as they are able to address community concerns a

she is the editress of godey's ladies' book, was sarah josepha buell hale. has anyone heard of this woman before today? this is how fame fades. this is the woman that is responsible not only for thanksgiving, because she used her influence to call for a national thanksgiving, but she also wrote "mary had a little lamb." now you know that she wrote it. she has a very interesting story. it is worth saying about something about her background. she is a small town new hampshire girl. she was born in a small town in new hampshire. and her parents believed in equal education for boys and girls. so she actually obtained the equivalent of a college education in her house by her parents. she obtained the equivalent of a college education. she married a young lawyer, david hale. and, they spent eight happy years together, having children, pursuing self-improvement, and his career. but, he suddenly died after eight years of marriage. and like queen victoria, who, after prince albert died, would wear black for the rest of her life, sarah hale wears black for the rest of
