 What a wonderful Sunday afternoon. I want to thank everyone for coming. I really, wow. I'm not sure what to say, but this all started. I went to Kennedy's inaugural and Robert Frost read his poem and the day before, it was a gorgeous day like it is today and then there became this snowstorm and so we're standing out in the cold listening to this poem and I know it had some serious effect on me. Obviously. Then when I was in college, Evergreen Review came out and there were all these beautiful pictures of San Francisco poets and that sort of got me and then I remember Time Magazine ran a series of small pictures in 71 and I said I want to meet those people and it sort of has come to pass, but I like to thank everyone who's gotten me to this position and we know Mr. Tchaikovsky started things, but Joyce Jenkins at Poetry Flash published my first picture and there she is, Joycey. Thank you. Thanks. The community thanks you. I mean without Joyce 40 years of dedicated Poesy or as Lawrence would say, poultry, but but you know, it's been just a wonderful time meeting everyone and getting around these communities and and it's been very inspiring to me and I've always gone back to the poets and it's so wonderful to be here amongst you now. Thank you so much for coming and I want to thank Peter and Sue have really done a marvelous thing for me. Thank you. Thank you, Chris. And now I'd like to invite all of you to the gallery and a reception in the Latino room across the hall.
