marcus hart. and from there, ran into a miss vickie flamba who introduced me to the strategic partnership program. i just wanted to let you goes nye that it was very instrumental and critical to me becoming a union member and a glazing contractor in the city of san francisco. i'm proud to say i'm the only african american glazing contractor in the city, and clark was very instrumental in getting me started, because they took a chance on me, and giving me an opportunity to work on the project at uc berkeley when i had no construction experience as a owner, and i think that turned out very well for us. i want to thank ocii for giving me an opportunity to work in the mission bay right now, across mission bay block one, right across from the ballpark. we're doing interior glass there. so all of these general contractors are very important to a small business. i'm still sbe, and i'm still working in the field, but next time i come and visit you, maybe i can have a suit on, too. >> linda richardson. >>
