He had many good points, and that was very typical of what i have known him to be as a servant at city college. It was very difficult in his position, often being the one vote out of seven, often finding rubber stamping of a decision, fighting the way we were spending our money for ten years. Ten years he was in a position most of the time alone trying to speak up and say why are we doing this . Were running the college into the ground. This shouldnt be the way things should be, and when i got into the board and i concluded the same thing and i said milton god bless you. I couldnt have been here for ten years and put up with this stuff. And he just laughed and smiled and thank god he had been there for the people of San Francisco for city college and more importantly the students of that institutionifieding that fight when no one really cared about what was happening over there.

He asked if we should build a campus, and i said its something that we should do and there was certainly overwhelming support for the campus, but characteristic of his style and his principles he was never afraid to question power, or to question the popular way, and he had many good points, and that was very typical of what i have known him to be as a servant at city college. It was very difficult in his position, often being the one vote out of seven, often finding rubber stamping of a decision, fighting the way
How things were getting done and he would hold me accountable for the plans we were working on to challenge the status quo and if we were not succeeding he would tell me there was a problem, and that was great incentive when milton told you quietly you have to continue. So im grateful for all this, all this that he has taught me. I am very grateful. You know milton marks is someone that we should honor here and everywhere. Hes also a person we should admire and he is someone we should celebrate. Thank you. [applause] and before we hear from abbey i would like to welcome steve noe from the city College Board. Thank you abbey for giving me an opportunity to speak about milton today. Some of you may have heard that city college is facing some troubles; that we are at risk of losing our license to operate a college, and some of you may have heard that there is a as there should be a cause to Save City College, to keep it from going under. What some of you may not know is that milton marks

Across massachusetts, maine and other northeastern states so lets get the very latest right now from david lee miller. We saw you driving on the way this morning on fox and friends first. You managed to get there. You were in marshfield massachusetts, correct . That is correct. And the locals will tell you, heather, marshfield is famous for its lobsters. Now its famous for something else. Take a look. Its famous for having lobster traps in the middle of the town. About a dozen of these traps were marched inland by the massive blizzard from which the community is still recovering. There was serious damage to about a dozen homes that are here along the oceanfront. We have some video that explains why the damage is so severe a seawall was not only breached but the force of the water actually broke chunks of the concrete and you can see this not just on the videotape but you can see the force of the water and what it caused on some of the still shots that are tight shots of the seawall or
