so sam jordan was well respected. he always encouraged people who wanted to do something because he had the backing, diane feinstein has been there, willy brown has been there, some -- i think sammy davis junior went there once. so it's not famous people haven't visited it and it's not that sam jordan was very well known. i think in this case it's what has been happening and how his spirit has been kept alive by serving the poor. that's what we need, that's what we need in the bayview. we need people who are compassionate, people who do not forget their roots. people say they represent, if you represent and you know your people, especially the people who came from the south, i'm talking to the people at home, then your representatives should be those that represent the poor, much like phillip burton did, much like other good representatives did that you respect in city hall. so if sam jordan was here i think he would have said that his work was something for the community, that working for the community, that working

at that point sam revamped the market.stalled a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs look forward to come. he created community through food. so, we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where it's comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our guests who come and buy and eat the food. and we really feel that we wouldn't exist if it weren't for all three of those components who really support each other. and that's kind of what we work towards every day. >> valley creamery was opened in 2006. the two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sam's wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. they found a space on the block to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. they realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines around the corner. so, that's been a huge success. >>> in 2008, sam started 18 reasons, which is our community and event space where we d

sam, you first. what did the former senator have to say there?> what i take from talking to people close to chuck hagel is he views all of these issues through the mindset and lens of people who are on the ground because he's been there before. when you talk to people in the administration what they say they're excited about is what he can do on things like veterans affairs and soldiers that are returning from war zones. what my colleague josh hirsch is reporting is that hagel actually is semi-supportive or has been in the past of the drone program. part of the reason he has been supportive of the drone program is because it involves the minimum amount of soldier casualties. you're literally not getting people on the ground fighting the war. i think going forward if he is confirmed as secretary of defense, what you're going to see is a lot policy making from the vantage point of how do you limit suffering, how do you limit the need for soldiers on the ground, and what do you do when soldiers return from the battlefields. >> your thoughts, peter?
