The architects, marsha and a special thanks to erin who has done so much to help us on though this project. You know . That is the city side of this Publicprivate Partnership and i have to be fair in saying that this project has lasted through the term of two supervisors, two head librarians, three mayors, and four rec and park general managers.

There are more Great Partnerships to be guilt because guess what were doing with the bonds that publicly improves, were honoring these kids future.
