This was taken at an event sponsored by the Vallejo Chamber of Commerce.  The folks at North Bay Cabinets not only do fine work, but they also host our town's annual Toy Drive.  I'm so proud of the work our are people doing.  The man next to me is not only a dear friend of mine, but a man who volunteers his time as much as I've ever seen.

In fact, I'm proud of the people of Vallejo.  There is a spirit of volunteerism that rises to the call. 

I'm one who thinks that if we take care of ourselves, through our example others will be educated and inspired to reach similar goals.  Ya know, good neighbors garnish trust and respect from others.  Out of any community I ever lived or taught in, none take care of their own as well as the City of Vallejo does.  My thanks to you all for calling me one of your own. I'm grateful to be part of your family.
