"And that's a beautiful thing!" "I've lived in this neighborhood for over 40 years. Maybe you've seen me around. I work at Riley as an In School Suspension teacher. I also coach basketball. It's great that you guys are out here doing this work. When the park was cleaned up they did some good things but the basketball court is so small, no one can play on that. It's not even a half court. We need a better place for kids to play and practice. The youth are our future, we need to invest in them. I see that’s what you guys are doing. It must have been God who brought me over to talk to you. You see, I earned my degree on these streets. If we combine your degrees with my street degree we can make stuff happen, and that's a beautiful thing!"
