A
B

Governor
Charlie
Baker
is

the
house.
We've
got

Walsh

We've
got
a
whole
host
of
people

Ladies

My

I
promise
you
I
will
not
bore
you.
That's

we're
just
getting
started.
B
He
just
said
we'll

all
right,
but
now.
Why

We're
also

honor
Felix
Arroyo?
Where
is
Felix
Arroyo?
B
No,

No!
No,
the
father
Felix

down
the

You

how
could
we
have
an
event:
honoring
Felix,
the
Father
and,
of
course
not
have
Felix
jr.
here,
no
I
really
mean
it.
How
can
we
do
it
and
not
have
him
here
because
he's
here
every
single
year,
so
Felix
both
of
you?
Thank
you

also
here

honor
a
great
organization

grade-school
Cristo,
Rey
Boston
high
school,

just
yeah,
it's
just
we'll
have
more
on
them
later.
B
I
know
they're
in
the
house
as
well,
and
doing
a
lot
for
our
community
in
the
community
General
that
tucked
away

in
Dorchester

an
incredible
history
and
an
incredible
track
record
of
helping
our
community
and
more

that

we're
also
going

honor
our
corporate
partner
Tufts
health
plan.
Tom
is

the
house
as
well.
B
But
we're
actually
here
honestly
on
a
serious
note
to
honor
National,
Hispanic,
Heritage
Month
and
to
honor
all
of
the
many
contributions
and
achievements
that
we
as
a
community
over
the
last
century
or
and
more
historians
will
obviously
tell
you
more,
but
at
least
for
me
in
the
city
of
Boston,
since
I
was
born
here
and
many
are
in
the
room.
The
incredible
incredible
advances
we've
made
just
over
the
last
couple
of
decades
over
the
last
few
years
and
we're
also
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
the
future.
B
As
we
will
tell
you
about
our
windows
next
project,
which
is
a
Latino
30
under
30,
but
more
on
that
later
so
I'm
going
to
start
introduce.
Let
me
let
me
introduce
the
head
table
and
I'm
going
to
introduce
with
my
very
good
facebook
friend
our
governor,
our
beloved
governor
Charlie
Baker,
is
in
the
house
Charlie.
Thank
you
for
coming.
B
B
B
B
B
C
D
C
B
B
B
And
last,
but
certainly
not
least,
someone
very
special
and
close
to
the
old
window
family's
heart
someone
who
ten
years
ago
was
our
intern
someone
who
we
met
through
her
veteran
services.
She
was
a
marine,
she
was
a
model
and
she
was
in
a
window
in
turn.
She
helped
us
with
the
o
mundo
family
festival
the
first
year
earlier
this
year
she
threw
out
the
first
pitch
at
Fenway
Park
today,
she's
representing
the
city's
committees,
the
Commissioner
of
veteran
service
for
the
city
of
Boston,
gizelle
sterling.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
a
veteran
of
Afghanistan.
B
So
we're
going
to
get
the
kick
things
off
with
with
Marty
and
the
governor,
but
before
we
go,
you
know
I
just
want
to
make
a
special
note
of
the
mayor
being
here.
You
know.
I
love
that
the
mayor,
if
you've
read
a
last
couple
days,
he's
thinking
of
with
the
Boston
Redevelopment
Authority
right
is
that
being
renamed?
You
know
they
want
to
kind
of
show
a
little
bit
more.
How
city
government
works
so
they're
changing
a
few
of
the
names
so
mayor
I
know.
B
You
call
me
for
advice
all
the
time
so
I'm
going
to
offer
some
free
advice.
This
is
from
the
old
mundo
crack
staff
at
the
thing.
They
think
that
there's
a
couple
renaming
you
should
do
and
they
will
be
very
appropriate.
For
example,
for
example,
the
Boston
2024
olympic
committee
will
now
be
known
as
the
I
was
only
kidding
committee.
B
B
Three
good
name
shot
that
I
wanted
to
take
all
right.
Having
said
that,
lady
gentle
I'm
gonna
start
this
off
with
Charlie
Baker
and
Charlie
I
want
you
to
come
up
here
for
a
second,
because
you're
going
to
be
our
first
speaker
and
Charlie
Baker
weather
is
what
a
little
song
because
Charlie
we
had
a
lunch,
a
couple
that
was
it
for
fourth
of
July
and
I
said
that
Charlie.
B
You
know
your
story
come
out,
you're,
the
third
most
popular
governor
in
the
country
and
by
the
way,
with
some
politicians
here
with
arroyo
and
Diaz
and
Garcia
and
woo
I.
Think
you're
in
the
room
you
about
the
fifth
was
popular
but
anyways
in
the
country
he's
the
third
most
popular
governor
and
I
said.
C
C
I
speak
for
everybody
at
the
head
table
of
those
who've
been
to
it
before
it's
so
nice
to
see
that
this
event
continues
to
grow
and
to
get
bigger
and
bigger
each
year,
and
that
I
think,
is
a
real
tribute,
I
kind
of
hate
to
say
this,
because
it
means
I
have
to
say
something
really
nice
about
Alberto,
but
congratulations
to
a
mundo
and
to
you
for
returning
this
into
really
a
very
special
and
sort
of
significant
event.
Here
in
the
city
of
Boston
and
at
least
to
you.
C
I
just
think,
speaks
to
some
extent
to
the
size
of
his
heart
and
and
I
got
to
tell
you
that
for
me,
having
a
chance
to
say
that
to
you
as
the
son
of
Roberto
Clemente
is,
is
it's
actually
a
moving
moment
for
me
because
I
was
such
a
huge
fan
of
him,
not
just
as
a
ballplayer,
but
at
the
kind
of
person
he
was
so
god
bless.
Okay,.
C
They
would
bring
a
bunch
of
kids
who'd,
been
recognized
by
their
peers
and
by
their
teachers
and
by
coaches
and
others
I'm.
A
variety
of
communities
all
over
the
city,
several
nights
to
fenway
park
for
a
pre
game
celebration
on
the
field
where
they
get
a
chance
to
meet
some
of
the
players
and
some
of
the
sponsors
for
the
program
and
harvard
program
was
one
of
the
sponsors.
C
First
of
all,
when
he
shook
my
hand,
his
fingers
went
up
to
about
here,
and
the
second
thing
I
remember
was,
you
know
he
is
a
bear
of
a
guy
I'm,
not
exactly
small,
but
I
felt
tiny
next
to
him
and-
and
the
other
thing
I
noticed,
was
how
much
he
liked
and
enjoyed
those
kids
and
how
much
those
kids
liked
and
enjoyed
him.
And
this
was
before
he
was
Big
Papi.
C
He
was
just
David
Ortiz,
the
new
guy
on
the
team
and
and
I
remember
walking,
and
then
I
spent
the
night
basically
running
around
fenway
park
with
a
part.
Oh
and
I
got
to
see
all
kinds
of
parts
of
Fenway
that
I'd
never
seen
before,
but
I
remember
thinking
that
night,
what
a
nice
guy
and
little
did
I
know
what
the
next
13
years
with
that
nice
guy
would
be
all
about
here
in
here
in
Boston
I
get
asked
earlier
by
one
of
the
reporters.
C
He
has
been
just
an
enormously
special
presence
throughout
the
course
of
his
career.
In
so
many
ways,
he
is
certainly
a
role
model
for
athletes
generally
and
for
public
figures,
but
his
commitment
to
the
community,
his
commitment
to
kids
and
the
way
he
carries
himself
and
the
presence
that
he's
brought
to
everything
he's
done
in
this
city,
I,
really
believe
is
going
to
be
almost
impossible
for
anybody
else
to
duplicate
and-
and
so
we
ended
up
having
this
big
conversation
about
well.
His
last
game
is
on
Sunday.
C
What
can
we
do
to
to
recognize
and
express
our
appreciation
for
who
he
is
and
what
he's
done,
and
so
we
talked
about
a
whole
bunch
of
ideas
like
one
of
the
ideas
I
had
was
well.
Maybe
what
we
should
do
is
out
there
on
the
Turnpike
behind
left
field
in
Fenway
Park,
we
should
put
like
a
baseball
graveyard
where
David
Ortiz
as
home
runs
go
to
die
literally
literally
like
right
out
there
in
the
between
the
the
inbound
traffic
and
the
outbound
traffic
to
have
a
like
a
big
field
with
little.
C
You
know
little
little
gravestones
for
various
David,
Ortiz
home
runs
and
all
the
rest-
and
you
know
somebody
pointed
out
to
me
ways
a
righty.
So
most
of
his
home
runs
go
over
the
center
field
and
the
right
field.
He
doesn't
hit
a
lot
of
a
left-field
fence
and
I
thought
boy,
what
a
nerd,
so
that
idea
got
squelched
and
then
we
talked
about.
C
Maybe
we
could
rename
one
of
the
stations
after
them
one
of
the
subway
stations,
and
we
realize
it
would
literally
cost
us
like
three
million
dollars
to
reprint
and
redistribute
all
of
the
stuff.
That's
out
there
associated
with
the
stations.
So
that's
probably
a
little
more
than
the
taxpayers
would
want
to
spend
on
something
like
this.
So
we
started
talking
about.
Well,
maybe
maybe
there's
we
could
just
on
one
of
the
overpasses
that
heads
to
Fenway
Park.
C
We
could
name
that
after
him,
just
named
the
overpass
after
him,
because
of
course
every
bridge
in
Boston
is
named
already
after
somebody,
and
so
then
we
got
talking
about
that
and
I
said
well
go
find
out
about
that
overpass.
That
goes
over
the
turnpike
brookline
ab
that
everybody
walks
over
to
go
to
a
baseball
game
find
out.
C
If
maybe
we
could
name
that
overpass
after
him
and
people
came
back
a
couple
days
later
and
they
said
actually
that's
like
the
one
bridge
in
Boston
that
isn't
named
after
anyone
as
like
you're
kidding
I
mean
this
is
almost
like.
A
divine
intervention
like
that
bridge
was
named
after
somebody
at
some
point
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
Somehow
it's
not
and
I
said
so.
C
You're
telling
me
that
if
we
can
get
the
legislature
to
work
with
us
and
pass
legislation
that
enables
us
to
occur,
we
could
name
the
bridge
that
everybody
who
walks
through
a
red
sox
game
walks
over
when
they
walk
over
the
turnpike
from
kenmore
square,
a
brookline
ave
and
turned
the
corner
into
family
park.
We
could
name
that
bridge
after
Big
Papi
and
the
answer
was
yes
and
so
on
Sunday.
B
Thank
You
charlie,
thank
you
very,
very
much.
I
didn't
know
that
sorry,
but
the
bread,
so
that's
kind
of
like
breaking
news,
which
is
really
good
and
that's
great.
So
our
next
speaker,
I,
want
to
kind
of
keep
things
moving
along
is
a
great
mayor
of
Boston
I
kid
him
a
lot
and
everything
and,
of
course,.
B
We're
going
to
a
dedication,
I
know
that
you
had
your
differences
with
the
wind
casino
but
you've
gone.
Everything
is
all
fine
and
dandy,
love
each
other
and
I
know
you
love
you
they're
here,
so
we're
going
to
did
it.
This
is
from
yeah
they're
here,
they're
here,
I
know
you're.
Here
you
don't
the
for
your
hand
up,
but
this
song
goes
out
to
you
from
Marty
Walsh.
E
E
E
E
E
Hispanic
heritage
is
a
big
part
of
boston,
as
you
all
know,
if
this
would
be
serious
for
a
minute
and
that
this
event
really
is
a
sign
of
Boston's
growth
in
the
in
the
Latino
community.
My
first
time
coming
to
this
breakfast,
it
was
during
the
mayor's
race
and
and
I
was
horrified
because
I
had
to
speak
in
front
of
everybody,
and
at
that
point
it
was
down
to
the
final
and
I
walked
in
and
John
Connolly
was
sitting
up.
E
As
I
know,
I
was
a
little
funny
of
the
John,
so
I
got
up
there
and
try
to
make
make
fun
of
myself,
but
but
it
truly
is
a
strength
and
when
you
think
about
in
CD
leadership
alone,
the
leadership
of
Latino
community
within
the
administration,
the
largest
office
under
the
cabinet
of
the
mayor,
is
Health
and
Human
Services
and
Felix
Arroyo
young
Felix
Arroyo
is,
is
that
chair?
The
committee
chief
of
health,
human
service
I,
want
to
congratulate
Felix.
We
have.
E
E
We
also,
as
you
know,
when
I
took
over
as
Mia,
we
had
the
opportunity
own
ians
and
the
office
was
kind
of
did
some
things
around
new
Bostonians
and,
and
we
appointed
somebody
who
is
an
incredible
advocate:
we've
not
only
changed
the
name
of
the
office,
but
we've
changed
the
complete
mission
of
the
office
and
we
have
the
woman
at
the
office
of
immigrant
advancement
and
Alejandro
saying
can
is
here.
I
want
to
thank
Alejandra.
E
We're
helping
we're
helping
people
on
pathways
is
a
citizenship.
It's
something
that's
really
important,
even
though
that
Congress
and
the
Senate
can't
get
together
a
pass
immigration
reform.
We
are,
we
are
helping
prepare
people
who
right
now
are
undocumented
to
become
citizens
in
the
country,
and
it's
important
for
us
that
office
is
going
to
continue
to
work
with
immigrants,
so
we
can
get
them
on
a
pathway
to
citizenship.
E
We
have
the
best
veterans
Commission.
We
had
a
veteran's
commission
in
the
city
of
Boston.
You
might
have
heard
about
him.
Four
inches
career
rain,
I,
think
he's
here
somewhere
and
when
I
took
over.
As
me
I
said,
you
know,
for
instance,
go
it's
time
for
you
to
move
on.
I
gave
them
to
the
governor
move
that
the
best
secretary
of
veterans
Commissioner
in
the
country
right
over
here,
Giselle
sterling.
E
Like
I'm
going
to
just
said,
that's
not
how
I
remember
it
once
in
Boston
just
so.
We
get
a
fact
of.
What's
going
on
the
city
Boston
nineteen
percent
of
our
residents
Latino,
sixteen
percent
of
our
residents
speak
Spanish
at
home.
The
Dominican
Republic
is
our
number
one
source
of
foreign-born
residents,
I'm
sure
there's
a
few
Dominicans
in
the
room,
there's
more
than
that
in
the
room,
and
we
also
have
it's
also
number
one
for
baseball
hall
of
fame.
E
As
far
as
as
far
as
the
miniguns
into
the
Baseball
Hall
of
Fame
I
am
proud
to
represent
a
city.
That's
so
diverse.
I
am
proud
to
be
able
to
to
go
around
the
country
and
talk
about
the
differences
in
our
city
and
prophets
say
what
we're
doing
in
our
city.
Every
aspect
of
our
city,
Latino
community,
is
very
involved
in
city
government,
but
also
in
the
state
government
and
continue
to
be
there.
E
E
We
were
really
focused
on
race
in
Boston
and
what
we
didn't
really
focus
on,
not
that
we
didn't
focus
purposely,
but
we
weren't
thinking
about
the
immigrants
coming
to
the
country
and
felix
arroyo
senior
actually
was
the
person
who
pointed
out
and
saying,
as
we
talk
about
race
in
boston.
Let's
not
forget
the
people
who
weren't
born
here
and
who
might
not
know
the
history
of
America.
I
might
not
know
the
history
of
boston
and
philly.
E
Cheerios
said
to
me
in
said
to
us
that
we
need
to
start
thinking
and
making
sure
that
we
incorporate
the
immigrant
community
into
that
conversation.
I
want
to
thank
you,
Felix
for
that
and
I
want
to
thank
the
immigrant
community
for
all
that
you
do,
for
our
city
every
single
day
in
the
city
of
Boston.
We're
not
we're
not
about
pointing
fingers,
were
about
opening
up
doors
and
allowing
people
in
this
isn't
a
trump
rally.
This
is
how
do
we
get
a
people
in
the
country.
E
I
want
to
congratulate
the
governor
as
well
for
rom
for
naming
the
bridge
david
ortiz
took
david,
ortiz,
weybridge,
gov
I.
Think
it's
a
great
idea.
I
am
actually
kind
of
pissed
because
you
didn't
one
up
to
us
and
I'll
have
the
gate
think
about
it
sunday,
but
I'm
a
little
surprised
that
you're
able
to
get
it
to
the
legislature
so
fast
and
on
the
audience
of
signing.
So
congratulations
on
that
accomplishment
nevermind
the
Ortiz
way.
E
There's
a
couple
of
recognitions
being
given
today
and
I
want
to
congratulate
all
the
people
who
are
being
recognized
today
for
your
great
work.
I
want
to
do
to
shout
outs,
one
is
to
Cristo
Rey
Boston,
that's
an
incredible
school
when
that
school
was
in
north
cambridge.
I
went
over
in
videos
that
visit
that
school.
They
were
looking
for
a
new
home
and
I'm
proud
to
say
they
moved
to
savin
hill
dorchester,
so
cristo
rey.
Congratulations.
E
E
Actually,
two
mutual
friends,
Liz
Mallya
and
Kevin
Fitzgerald's
called
me
up
and
said:
we
need
you
to
sit
down
with
this
man
and
you
he's
running
for
City
Council
he's
an
incredible
resume,
so
I
had
a
chance
to
sit
down
Felix
back
then,
and
we
sat
down.
We
had
a
conversation.
I
was
a
state
rep
at
the
time
and
I
endorsed
him.
I
didn't
know
who
he
was
I
endure
some
one
side
to
get
involved.
E
I
endorsed
him
because
of
his
resume,
because
I
saw
him
an
immigrant
that
came
to
this
country
that
was
raising
a
family.
There
was
a
member
of
the
school
committee
member
of
government.
Member
of
everything
he
did
was
about
helping
people
and
I
was
proud
to
support
him.
Then,
since
that
time
he
has
held
many
positions
in
government
and
after
I
became
Mary,
the
city
of
Boston
I
have
to
tell
you
this
one
story.
So
when
I
was
running
for
mayor
of
Boston,
obviously
Felix
was
running
and
I
called
I
didn't
call
Felix
by
song.
E
I
said
I'd
love
to
have
your
support,
but
I
know
yeah.
He
goes
I'd,
be
with
you.
If
my
son
wasn't
in
the
race
I
said
well,
thank
you.
I
said,
but
after
the
primary
felix
arroyo,
Felix
the
Arroyo,
both
filter,
Royals,
but
Felix
diario,
was
working
13
14
hours
a
day
for
me
for
mayor.
He
was
talking
to
the
elders
in
the
community.
E
He
was
walking
the
streets
he's
a
man
that,
regardless
of
what
caused
it
is,
it
doesn't
necessarily
mean
me
for
mayor,
but
whatever
cause
was,
he
believes
in
it
and
he
fought
extremely
hard
for
everything
in
his
life
and
he
raised
an
unbelievable
family.
He
was
the
first
person
that
I,
endorsed
after
being
elected
mayor,
has
prompted
to
that
as
register
of
probate,
which
again
he's
the
first
Latino
to
win
a
countywide
election
in
massachusetts.
E
Felix
Arroyo
is
breaking
down
the
barriers,
he's
making
sure
he's
leading
the
way
he
didn't
have
to
run
for
that
office.
He
didn't
need
the
money.
He
didn't
need
that
office,
but
he
ran
for
that
office
and
he
broke
down
more
barriers.
So
when
you
think
about
young
Latinos
in
the
room
here
today,
you
think
about
you
know
your
career,
whatever
it
might
be.
This
gentleman
Felix
Arroyo
has
broken
down
more
berries
who
into
it
single-handedly
than
most
people.
We
talked
about
all
the
big
names.
Big
Papi
he's
a
great.
We
love
Big
Papi.
E
We
love
Pedro
Martinez.
We
love
a
lot
of.
We
love
Roberto
Clemente
on
a
little
bit
of
a
quieter
side,
somebody
who
is
politically
open
doors,
it's
Felix
d,
Arroyo
and
I
like
to
just
fills.
You
don't
have
to
come
up
here,
but
I,
just
like
to
I,
couldn't
find
a
bridge
in
the
city
of
Boston
for
Felix
I
looked
everywhere,
I.
E
B
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
are
me
and
I'm
gonna
have
Felix
stay
up
there
now,
because,
let's
get
this
up
all
right,
I
want
to
get
political
now
as
we're
all
eating
here
having
a
great
breakfast,
but
this
is
the
seventh
annual
hispanic
heritage
breakfast
or
if
Donald
Trump
wins
the
Last
Supper.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
I've
got
my
disciples
over
here.
I
know:
who's
gonna
I
know
who's
going
to
betray
v
three
times
all
right,
so
wait
wait,
wait
Felix!
Only
because
we
have
a
contemporary
of
yours
and
I
wanted
to
do
this
now.
B
B
Now
that
we
have
the
mayor
in
the
governor,
so
Jorge
kick
it
over
if
you're
here
making
your
way
up
for
the
30
years,
channel
5
last
year's
Lifetime
recipient
award-
and
let's
do
this-
the
right
way
with
hargett
with
her
help
here
in
the
meantime,
I
also
want
to
give
a
very
special
shout
out.
Ladies
and
gentlemen,
with
everything
that's
going
on
in
the
country,
we
have
some
very
special
law
enforcement
guests.
Boston
Police,
Department
superintendent
in
chief,
william
gross,
is
here
William.
Where
are
you
he's
here
in
the
table?
B
Actually
already
at
the
table
got
Chelsea
Chief
of
Police
Brian
kies
is
here
everywhere:
Chief
of
Police,
Steven,
mazzy's,
Thank,
You,
chief
MBTA,
transit,
police,
chief,
Kenny
green
and
captain
Kelly
McCormick
of
East
Boston
as
well.
So
thank
you
and
I
know.
Steve
Thompkins
is
here
who's
also
in
law,
enforcement's
in
our
sheriff.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
coming.
So
having
said
that,
I
now
give
it
to
a
real
professional
in
the
media.
Jorge
Quiroga.
A
I'm
not
sure
about
the
professional
part,
but
when
of
the
yummy
hemp
they
come
with
Don
and
I
came
some
of
you
know
the
story.
I
came
from
Colombia.
Luckily,
my
mother
was
Puerto
Rican,
so
Furcal
Rico
when
I
came
to
Boston
when
I
came
to
Puerto
Rico.
Of
course,
I
grew
up
in
Puerto
Rico
night.
So
myself
as
a
Puerto
Rican,
you
of
course
I
came
to
Boston
and
went
to
school,
went
to
Harvard
all
of
a
sudden.
The
Puerto
Rican
is
not
that
I
colombiano.
A
To
introduce
or
two
to
honor
as
well
an
old
friend
you
know,
Felix
is
a
very
precocious,
was
a
very
precocious
young
boy.
You
know
he
has
this
thing.
I,
don't
know
it
became
in
his
DNA
that
he
always
had
to
be
the
first,
the
first
and
everything
started
when
he
was
in
grade
school.
I
understand
he
always
had
to
be
the
first
in
line
every.
A
It
was
they
go
to
recess
first
in
line
get
to
school
first
in
line,
and
he
was
very
obsessed
about
it.
Finally,
his
mother
said
Felix
a
porque
pero,
como
una.
They
put
you
first
in
line,
but
that
did
not
deter
him
that
did
not
deter
Felix
because
he
insisted
and
persisted
in
that
sense
of
accomplishment.
A
So
he
became
the
first
in
his
family
to
graduate
from
college
from
the
University
of
Puerto
Rico.
A
lot
of
his
accomplishments
have
already
been
mentioned.
If
so
many
that
I
did,
we
wrote
him
down
some
of
them.
The
mayor
is
already
gone
through,
but
just
in
case
anybody
forgets
who
we
are
honoring.
Today,
a
terrific
member
of
this
city,
a
terrific
contributor
to
the
life
and
history
and
politics
of
the
city.
Felix
in
2003,
was
elected
to
Boston
City
Council
in
the
first
Latino
to
serve
trust
me
I'm.
A
Roy
fell
each
also
founded
the
Latino
Democratic
Committee,
the
first
statewide
Latino
political
organization
of
Massachusetts,
a
longtime
resident
of
Boston,
fell,
expand
his
youth
growing
up
in
public
housing
in
Puerto
Rico
raised
by
his
father,
Feliz
authorial,
a
world
war
two
veteran
and
his
late
mother,
elisa.
As
I
mentioned,
he
was
the
first
in
his
family
to
graduate
from
college
and
go
on
to
Harvard
University
of
MIT.
For
more
than
40
years.
Felix
has
built
an
unmatched
legacy
and
record
of
serving
the
community.
A
A
A
Currently
Felix
holds
another
first,
as
mentioned
he
is
the
first
Latino
elected
suffolk,
county
register
of
probate
and
Family
Court
serving
Boston
Chelsea
Revere
and
went
through
with
as
many
long
and
illustrious
with
this
along
and
lustrous
career
in
the
public
eye.
It
is
probably
safe
to
say
that
nobody
else
has
been
mentioned
more
in
an
mundo
than
fairly
excited.
Oh
you,
it's
got
if
you
look
up
his
Wikipedia
at
thirty.
Two
thirds
of
it
is
all
the
articles
from
el
mundo,
but
see
really,
sincerely
and
honestly
and
with
from
the
bottom
of
my
heart.
A
D
First
of
all,
I
want
to
commend
Albert
Albert
eco,
because
there
is
a
previous
Alberto
that
I
want
to
recognize
as
well.
A
vertical
have
make
an
important
contribution
to
our
community.
He
said
bridge
as
you
are
mr.
mayor.
You
said
you
couldn't
find
a
bridge,
but
you
are
our
bridge
in
this
city,
and
we
appreciate
that
Alberta.
Co
is
a
very
diplomatic.
D
You
know
he
was
able
to
put
the
governor
or
one
side
of
the
podium
and
the
mayor
at
the
other
side
of
a
podium
and
have
been
in
the
same
event
without
any
kind
of
discussion
and
I
appreciate
that,
because
both
of
them
are
respectable
appreciated
by
our
community.
We
have
our
difference.
For
example,
the
governor
said
that
Roberto
Clemente
is
one
of
the
best
players
in
baseball
I
had
to
correct
him.
He
is
the
best
player.
D
D
D
It
will
only
be
fulfilled
if
we
speak
our
minds,
always
regardless
of
some
people,
liking
us
and
some
people,
not
because
after
all,
what
you
have
to
be
mine,
mindful
of
is
that
you
liked
you
have
to
like
yourself,
and
you
can
only
like
yourself
if
you
are
truthful
to
yourself.
Democracy
are
Louis
to
do
that.
That's
why
I
believe
strongly
on
it
and
I
believe
in
speaking
my
mind.
So
even
with
that,
I
want
to
say
also
about
our
berto.
There
are
three
big
events.
This
is
one
of
them
to
keep
growing.
D
I
don't
know
what
you
will
have
awesome
five
years
from
now,
as
a
matter
of
fact,
this
supposed
to
be
a
lifetime,
a
word
I
hope
to
be
here
in
20
years
again
receiving
a
lifetime.
I
work
and
I
hope
Albert
on
that.
You
still
be
here
unable
to
do
this
event,
but
a
vector
will
not
have
been
able
to
be
this
creative,
creating
this
event
that
breach
our
community
with
the
main
community
in
Massachusetts.
D
Also,
he
developed
the
career,
fair,
recognizing
that
is
important
to
put
the
business
and
those
who
are
looking
for
employment
together
and
I.
Think
that
was
a
challenge
both
to
our
community
and
to
the
business
community
to
integrate
the
talent
that
is
in
our
community
within
their
particular
business.
Thank
you
for
that
too,
and
on
top
of
that,
he
didn't
stop
there
in
the
fenway
he
loved
baseball.
D
We
all
know
that,
but
he
made
sure
that
Joan
children
were
recognized
at
the
fenway,
many
of
them
going
to
again
for
the
first
time,
thanks
to
Alberto
and
el
mundo,
we're
grateful
for
that.
I
want
to
mention
the
father.
Alberto
basado
came
here
in
difficult
times
for
him
and
his
family,
and
so
they
need
to
have
a
mean
of
communication
for
all
of
us
and
against
all
obstacles.
D
D
D
Remember
one
Alberto
bisaya
father
told
me
that
there
was
one
time
where
he
was
afraid.
The
paper
will
not
come
out
because
there
was
a
storm
big
storm
and
there
was
not
a
car
that
he
can
use
to
bring
the
the
plates
of
the
paper
to
be
printed.
So
he
walked
to
the
place
and
they
had
to
sit
how
Alberto
and
hit
him
in
the
face
and
put
his
hands
in
one
word,
because
he
was
almost
freezing.
But
the
paper
came
out
that
week.
Thank
you.
D
D
However,
he
he
present
himself,
but
one
thing
that
I
admire
his
heart
beside
his
a
career.
Is
that
been
here
a
lot
less
year
than
me?
He
have
no
action.
He
speak
English
perfectly
and
I
still
struggling
with
it.
I
think
that
is
a
part
of
my
psyches
that
say,
don't
stop
being
Latino,
even
in
speaking,
English
I.
Don't
recommend
it
I
think
that
people
should
be
able
to
speak
any
language
that
they
encounter
in
a
perfect.
I
turn
to
learn.
Portuguese
now
and
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
keep
doing
that.
D
D
I,
don't
know
you
know
it,
but
that
is
growing
right
now.
In
Chelsea,
the
big
majority
of
elected
officers
in
the
City
Council
are
Latinos
and
in
Holyoke
and
Springfield
there
are
Latinos
in
a
lot
of
positions
that
were
not
before.
Actually
I
want
to
recognize
that
Diaz
Chang
is
Sonia
is
a
the
first
senator.
We
have
say
latina
in
this
legislative
body.
D
I
never
intended
to
be
the
first
in
anything,
but
I'm
glad
that
there
is
a
first
I.
Don't
want
to
be
the
last
one,
please
in
any
of
those
positions.
I
hope
that
more
people
run
for
office.
I
hope
that
more
people
registered
to
vote
I
hope
that
more
people
study
the
candidates
before
they
vote
and
make
a
decision
based
on
positions
and
issues
that
affect
your
life
and
that
of
others,
because
it
is
important
or
democracy
need
you.
D
C
B
B
Jackson
is
here
as
well
tito.
The
standing
ovation
is
not
for
you.
Let's
get
a
photo
with
these.
In
the
meantime,
while
we
get
a
little
photo
op
over
here
with
Charlie
and
and
Felix
I
master
guys,
so
you
guys
can
do
your
little
photo.
Op
I
don't
want
to
recognize
a
few
more
folks
in
the
room,
so
many
loads
of
East
Boston
neighborhood
health
centers.
He
always
here,
where's
Viva
is
Boston.
B
We
also
have
I
know
well,
someone
mentioned
Sonia
chang-diaz
right.
Where
is
Sonia.
I
saw
her
a
little
bit
right.
Okay!
Well,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
we
are
in
the
presence
of
greatness,
not
you
Sonia,
her
father
is
here
and
if
you
don't
know
who
her
father
is,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
her
father
and-
and
we
want
to
definitely
make
North's
that
he's
here.
Frankly,
