A
A
A
A
A
So
well.
My
role
with
the
mayor
in
the
public
safety
team
role
with
the
mayor
was
to
try
to
figure
out
ways
to
make
sure
that,
on
that
our
neighborhood
stayed
safe,
in
that
it
wasn't
only
from
a
law
enforcement
lens.
We
have
the
chief
of
staff
for
the
police
department
to
my
right,
Kevin
Buckley,
and
we
have
the
deputy
superintendent
of
the
gang
unit
here.
His
name
is
dr
bailey
and
one
of
the
first
conversations
that
we
had
in
City
Hall
when
Mayor
Walsh
became
there
was
about
exactly
that.
A
The
mayor
had
absolutely
no
interest
on
whatsoever
in
arresting
our
way
to
being
a
safe
city.
He
had
no
interest
at
all
in
incarcerated
our
way
to
being
a
safe
city,
his
primary
goal,
if
any
of
you
know
anything
about
mayor
Walsh
who
himself
has
lived
a
complicated
life,
but
leave
that
redemption
is
possible.
A
Second
and
third
chances
are
necessary
and
that
none
of
us,
no
matter
what
we've
done
before
tonight
or
before
this
program
or
steps
or
hurdles
that
were
bumped
into
that,
doesn't
define
us
that
none
of
us
are
one
thing
and
given
the
right
opportunity
with
the
right
kind
of
support
as
evidence,
bodies,
beautiful
young
men
in
front
of
me,
anything
is-
is
possible.
So
before
I
make
some
introductions
of
some
people
that
were
critical
for
us
all
being
here.
A
There
are
a
couple
of
values
that
I
would
just
like
to
say
and
I
don't
want
to
steal
anyone's
thunder,
but
this
very
handsome
gentleman
to
my
left,
Joe
Donato,
who
became
a
very
special
person
for
many
of
the
guys
in
front
of
me,
and
some
of
the
young
men
and
women
in
the
room
that
have
gone
through
the
program.
This
program
would
not
be
possible
without
Joe
Donato,
there's
also
a
gentleman
in
the
room.
A
I,
don't
see
him
in
front
of
me,
but
John
Healy
when
the
mayor
and
some
of
us
in
City
Hall
talked
about
partnering
up
at
the
trade
unions.
I
can't
say
enough:
I
can't
say
enough
about
the
willingness
of
the
trade
unions
to
be
part
of
making
sure
that
our
city
is
strong
and
healthy.
In
the
answer
from
day,
one
from
all
of
them
that
Brian
will
acknowledge
was
yes.
How
can
we
help
John
Healy?
Frankly,
I
can't
think
of
ever
meeting
a
guy
like
John
Healy.
A
A
Now
we
joked
a
lot
about
when
the
program
started.
How
many
times
have
you
been
in
in
the
room
with
police
officers
and
they
don't
say
anything
right,
at
least
in
my
life
that
had
never
happened,
but
there's
a
gentleman
here,
drawed
Billy
that
I
mentioned
early
he's
a
deputy
superintendent
in
charge
of
the
youth
violence
strike
force,
probably
the
most
aggressive
unit
in
the
city
of
Boston,
around
enforcement.
A
His
his
complete
commitment
to
making
sure
that
this
program
has
been
successful
is
pretty
remarkable
for
someone
who
is
responsible
for
getting
guns
out
of
our
neighborhoods
and
keeping
the
neighborhood
say
so.
I
can't
say
enough
about
rod
his
commitment
in
the
commitment
of
his
staff,
the
second
or
third
person
we
spoke
to
after
the
mayor
in
the
trade
union
said
we're
all
in
was
our
police,
commissioner
and
I
believe
he's
on
his
way
and
the
only
thing
that
the
police
commissioner
asked
I.
B
A
Even
see
there,
the
only
thing
that
the
see
you
know
I,
say
nice
things
about
G
when
you're
not
here
right.
So
the
only
thing
that
the
Commissioner
asked
was:
how
can
we
help
love
the
idea
and
when
we
told
him
that
look
all
of
us
are
complicated
people,
we
come
from
different
neighborhoods
when
we
said
that
look
we're
not
about
separating
young
people
in
our
city,
we're
about
bringing
young
people
together
with
the
right
kind
of
support
and
opportunity
most
outside
and
law
enforcement.
A
Universe
said
that
that's
not
possible
and
the
Commissioner
was
the
biggest
supporter
from
day
one
at
knowing
that
look
again.
None
of
us
have
one
thing.
The
last
acknowledgement
I
want
to
make
is
to
my
friends
in
the
back
row:
there's
a
core
of
Street
workers
in
that
back
corner
Leroy,
T,
her
snap
and
Tony,
and
one
of
their
fearless
leaders,
Chris
Bonner,
that
table
right.
A
There
has
been
instrumental
instrumental
in
making
sure
that,
if
someone
needed
a
wake-up
call,
someone
needed
to
get
here
on
time
or
someone
needed
somewhere
else
to
go,
or
someone
was
being
discouraged
by
the
commitment
that
it
might
take
for
some
transformation.
That
table
has
been
instrumental
night
and
I
can't.
Thank
you
guys
enough
for
all
your
support.
B
Universe,
yeah
so
I
always
liked
coming,
obviously
I'd
like
to
thank
and
the
man
he's
on
his
way.
I
know
he's
had
a
busy
day
and
mr.
Kraft
fund.
The
Patriots
who's
here
has
been
at
a
biggest
supporter
of
helping
us
with
this
program.
You
know
it's
great
to
have
you
all
here,
it's
great
to
see
you
get
such
an
opportunity
and
I
want
to
thank,
obviously
the
building
trades
forgiving
it.
You
know
it's
a
neat
opportunity
to
have
a
great
skill
and
really
do
well
in
take
care
of
families.
B
B
Sebastian's,
I
didn't
have
the
money,
I
didn't
have
the
brains,
but
someone
took
a
chance
on
me
and
got
me
a
good
education
and
that's
why
I'm
here
and
I
think
that's
what
this
is
all
about
to
giving
you
guys
good
chance.
Give
you
an
opportunity
to
really
really
make
good
in
your
life
and
a
lot
of
us
have
a
lot
of
you
know
a
lot
of
hope
in
you
guys
and
hope.
You
know
that
you
can.
You
know
some
day
on
your
house,
raise
your
family
get
them.
B
You
know
everything
they
need
in
and
that's
why
we
all
here
to
make
sure
all
is
very
successful
in
whatever
trade
you
do
so
now.
I
always
love
the
opportunity
to
come.
You
know,
but
at
the
same
time
I
need
you
when
you
leave
here
to
help
us.
You
know
help
us
on
the
street.
Help
us
with
the
young
kids
help
them,
so
that
meant
to
them
to
stay
out
of
the
senseless
violence
that
we
have
on
the
street.
I.
B
B
So
I
hope
you
all
leave
here
as
good
messages
about
you
know,
staying
out
of
trouble
in
helping
these
young
kids
to
stay
and
screw
and
do
the
best
so
on
behalf
of
the
police
department,
yeah
I
just
want
to
congratulate
you
and
I
wish
you
all
the
best
in
you
all
have
great
families
I,
you
know
just
do
do
well
in
a
with
a
part
of
you.
So
thank
you
all
appreciate.
I.
A
Also
Sean
web
I
didn't
see
you
sitting
there
Sean's
a
lot
bigger
when
you're
standing
up,
but
sean
is
director
of
the
of
the
street
worker
program
and
I'm.
Sorry
I
didn't
mention
Tyrone
Cadel,
who
virtually
was
here.
He
worked
for
building
pathways,
had
real,
no
no
requirement
to
be
part
of
the
day-to-day
class
at
operation.
Accident
Tyrone,
I
think,
was
here
virtually
every
day
and
I
can't
count
how
many
times
I
I
talked
to
Tyrone.
There's
another
big
kid
with
the
funny
red
bandana
around
his
neck.
His
name
is
Darius.
A
A
And
the
next
person
that's
going
to
come
up
in
and
say
hello
is
when
I
huddled
you
guys
up
and
never
told
you
before
tonight
that,
unfortunately,
for
all
of
us
in
the
room,
everything
costs
costs
money
right,
little
ones,
cost
money,
lunch
costs,
money
and
programs
like
this
cost
cost
money.
I
never
had
the
privilege
of
knowing
mr.
A
Kraft,
but
I
did
have
an
opportunity
to
get
to
know
his
son
Josh
over
the
last
couple
of
years
and
wonderful,
soft
spoken
and
frankly
in
in
my
experience
and
those
that
know
him
never
wants
credit
for
anything
and
I
didn't
believe
we
were
going
to
get
mr.
Kraft
here
tonight,
either
and
I'm.
So
pleased
and
I
know
the
mayor's
pleased
that
he
came
out
to
see
you
all.
But
we
had
an
introduction
as
a
dance
learner
in
the
back
that
that
works
for
mr.
A
Crouse
foundation
and
myself
in
girard
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
mr.
Kraft
son,
Josh
and
then
I
think
I
met
Dan
with
you
with
a
few
times
with
Kemp
eletro
in
the
in
the
back,
and
you
spoke
to
mr.
Kraft,
and
he
was
excited
about
being
here
behind
the
scenes
to
support
you
and
he's
going
to
come
up
in
and
say
hello,
and
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
who
mr.
Kraft
is.
A
C
C
C
We
invite
him
to
our
game
Sunday
night,
so
they
were
really
good
guys,
but
you
know
I
love.
This
city
I
grew
up
right
in
a
town
right
next
door
and
live
my
whole
life
here.
I
didn't
have
money,
but
I
have
big
dreams.
I
went
to
school
on
scholarship
and
I.
Just
pursued
my
dream
and
I'm
thinking
about
all
you
guys
or
not.
I
understand,
like
two-thirds
of
you
have
kids,
is
that
you
know
and
I'll
tell
you.
C
If
we
got
a
rule
at
the
Patriots,
when
you
late,
you
pay
a
fine
yeah,
we
don't
keys,
got
those
blue
lights
ability
and
everything
and
he'll
double
talk,
but
we're
we're
fine.
But
it's
a
real
treat
to
be
here
with
you
and
tell
you.
You
know
you
can
do
whatever
you
want
and
you
got
a
great
chance
and
to
see
this
Building
Trades
Council,
whatever
the
formal
name
is,
is
that
is
that
the
right
name
going,
pardon
I've.
C
Pollen
Boston
Building,
Trades
Council,
it's
pretty
cool
that
you
get
the
training
and
you
have
that
opportunity
and
I'll
tell
you.
I
love
this
city
so
much.
I
plan
to
move
in
here
and
so
I'll
be
voting
here.
The
next
next
election
and
all
of
you
to
there
might
be
some
people
here
who
are
worried.
What
happened?
You
know
this
is
the
greatest
country
in
the
world
and
we're
going
to
be
fine
and
any
other
countries.
They
don't
pass
it
on
the
way
we
do.
C
You
can
protest,
you
can
do
whatever
you
want,
but
you
have
an
opportunity
to
make
it
happen
and
our
family
is
so
proud
in
a
small
way
to
be
part
of
this
program
and
be
supportive
of
you
all
and
I
just
wanted
to
tell
you
that
it's
an
honor
for
me
to
be
here
and
be
a
small
part
of
it
and
I'm
rootin
big
time
for
you,
guys
and
I
think
everyone
who's
graduated.
We
should
also
get
you
want
a
pair
of
tickets
to
our
future
gain.
A
A
C
A
E
Thank
you
very
much
Danny
and
what
I
think
I'm
sorry
every
time
I
have
this
tie
on
and
it's
weather
got
it
with
a
sign
only
like
four
times
in
my
life
and
the
four
times,
I've
worn
it
it's
the
craft
of
seen
it.
This
is
the
same
thing
all
the
time
and
I
apologize
to
mr.
CREB.
He
certainly
knows
I'm,
not
a
Jets
fan,
absolutely
not
I
want
to
I
sorry.
I
was
late,
tough
day
and
a
whole
bunch
of
different
friends,
but
I'm
I'm,
proud
of
the
work.
E
All
the
graduates
here
that
you've
done.
I
missed
the
beginning.
Speeches
hear
what
was
said,
but
this
program
was
created
to
give
people
opportunities
in
that.
That's
why
we
create
this
program.
Tina
Mulhern
and
Conan
Harris,
who
run
our
office
Public
Safety,
do
an
incredible
job
in
our
city
and
I
want
to
thank
them
for
this.
I
want
to
thank
stay
represent
of
Danny
Cullinane
who's
been
a
supporter
from
the
very
beginning.
I
want
to
sit,
I
think
I
knew
new
state
representative
tell
who's
here.
E
She
just
got
elected
I
meant
China,
probably
about
five
months
ago.
She
came
into
my
office
and
she
said
that
she
was
going
to
run
for
state
represented,
know
who
she
was
to
other
people
that
were
run
and
I
knew
them.
They
were
active
in
the
community
and
they
were
activists,
and
she
said
she
looked
me
dead
in
the
eye.
E
So
I'm
going
to
win
this
race
and
I
said
he's
going
to
work
hard,
and
you
know
she
worked
hard
and
she
elected
state
representative
and
it's
an
incredible
opportunity
for
her
and
just
a
little
story
about
me.
Obviously
you
probably
know
him.
The
mayor
of
the
city
I
got
elected
in
2013
prior
to
that
I
was
a
state
representative,
I
represented
dorchester
from
1997
to
2013
prior
to
that,
I
worked
for
the
laborers
Health
and
Welfare.
E
Fine
Leona
and
I
was
a
collection
agent
for
the
laborers
I
collected
for
any
benefit
contributions
before
that
I
was
a
construction
worker
and
I
worked
as
a
laborer
out
in
the
field
and
I
grew
up
not
too
far
from
here.
I
grew
up
down
the
other
end
of
dot
ave
near
columbia.
Road
I
grew
up
in
tap
streak.
I
went
to
high
school
I,
went
to
college
little
I'll
drop
down
to
college
after
college
and
went
to
where
construction,
because
I
thought
I
wanted
to
make
money.
I
didn't
want
it.
E
E
Construction
used
to
go
out
at
lunchtime
and
we'd
have
a
beer
at
lunch
time
and
and
then
after
a
while
my
lunch
time,
I
fit
as
many
bids
and
that
half
hours,
I,
possibly
could
and
I
wasn't
eating
lunch
at
all,
and
then
I
was
drinking
in
the
afternoon
and
at
night
and
and
I
drank
drank
to
the
point
where
I
developed
an
alcohol
problem.
There's
a
lot
of
stories
in
between
their
funny
stories
and
bad
stories.
E
But
I
found
myself
in
the
detox
and
when
I
was
in
the
detox
sitting
in
the
end,
that's
not
what
I
envisioned
in
my
life,
that's
not
where
I
wanted
to
be
I
didn't
want
to
have
the
the
pajamas.
They
give
you
the
slip
as
they
give
you
and
sitting
around
with
a
bunch
of
drug
addicts
and
alcoholics.
That's
not
snot!
What
my
plan
in
life
wasn't
that
plan
my
plan
in
life
lyst
was
to
go
and
get
a
college
degree
and
going
and
go
on
and
run
for
office
on
one
of
the
in
politics.
E
But
but
what
booze
took
me?
It
took
me
to
a
place
where
I
wasn't
able
to
I
wasn't
able
to
perform
what
I
wanted
to
do
after
I
got
out
of
that
detox.
My
life
sought
to
change
things
started
to
happen
in
a
positive
way.
I
got
a
chance
to
run
for
State,
Representative
and
Iran
was
seven
of
us
running
that
was
told.
I
was
running.
E
He
can't
win
and
and
Iran
that
one
and
then
I
ran
for
mayor
of
Boston,
there's
12
us
at
ran,
and
people
say
you
can't
win
that
race
and
and
I
was
fortunate
to
win.
That
race
is
mayor
of
the
city.
In
the
day
of
sworn
in
I
got
sworn
in
at
boston.
College
I
was
sitting
on
the
stage
and
there's
8,000
people
in
the
room
and
I
was
looking
out
at
the
crowd
and
I
was
thinking
to
myself
wow.
My
journey
to
get
to
this
point
in
my
life
was
was
in
a
straight
line.
E
It
was
a
very
crooked
line
and
I
say
that,
because
some
of
the
journeys
you
had
wasn't
a
straight
line,
skit,
which
way
you
out
today,
but
the
opportunities
I've
had
after
that
have
been
incredible.
The
opportunities
when
somebody
gave
me
a
chance
have
been
unbelievable
and
that's
what
you're
getting
today
an
opportunity
a
chance,
meaning
to
really
set
your
whole
future
in
a
whole
different
way.
I
mean
you
heard
the
speeches,
I'm
sure
Joe,
pounded,
Enya
and
everyone
else
talked
about
it.
E
This
is
a
legit
shot
now
to
actually
take
your
life
and
to
do
something
incredible
with
it.
This
is
like
being
signed
by
the
numeral
patrons
it's
like
it's
kind
of
like
one
of
those
things
like
that,
but
it's
on
you
now
to
work
hard
to
do
that,
to
carry
out
your
goal,
your
dream,
whatever
it
is,
whatever
trade
you
go
into,
that's
what
it's
all
about,
so
I
just
came
in
and
say
how
proud
I
am
of
operation
x2
class.
This
is
the
third
operation
exit
class
I
believe
that
we're
graduating
the
fourth
one.
E
Third
construction.
Fourth,
walk
taller
ain't
right:
you
know
when
I
see
a
young
person
or
person
from
operation
exit.
I
can
tell
you
right
now
when
I
want
a
job
site
it
going
to
drop
state.
Somebody
comes
up
to
the
operation
execute
now
my
awesomely
hugging,
all
the
stuff,
because
I
know
the
difference
that
this
program
can
make
in
people's
life.
It's
unbelievable
and
it's
pretty
cool
I
want
to
thank
all
the
speakers
that
are
here
today.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
feeling
that
the
Commissioner
for
being
here,
Commissioner,
evanston
and
mr.
E
Kraft
I,
gets
a
story
so
I'm
a
season
ticket
holder
for
the
pages
for
a
long
time
and
I'm,
so
I
get
elected
mayor
and
city
of
Boston
and
I,
don't
even
know
where
the
owners
box
days
or
they
don't
never
mind
his
office.
So
I'm
going
on
my
first
page
this
game
right
after
I
got
elected,
and
I
don't
know
how
it
happened,
I
think,
is
what
was
my
reach
out
to
me.
I
reach
out
to
him
and
said
you
know
coming
down
the
game
and
they
invited
me
up
to
22.
E
The
pregame
party
and
I
in
mr.
Kraft
took
me
into
his
office
and
I'm
sitting
his
office,
and
it
was
just
me
and
him
and
in
my
girlfriend's
nephew
and
I
thought
to
myself.
I
was
thinking
about
my
life,
about
you,
know,
being
Foxboro,
Stadium,
drunk
out
of
my
mind,
being
being
thrown
out
of
the
stadium
being
carried
out
stadium
having
to
leave
the
stadium
and
thinking
about
how
life
life's
journey
takes
you,
and
this
man
here
cares
about
people.
He
cares
about
us
in
Boston.
E
He
does
really
care
about
everyone
because
he's
in
he
does
this
quietly
but
anytime.
I
call
him
for
something
they
never
dancers,
never
know
it's.
What
can
I
do,
and
I
want
to
thank
mr.
Kraft
for
being
here
today
and
again
to
all
of
you
and
to
your
family
members.
The
phone
only
infinium
is
congratulations.
E
A
couple
guys
ova
going
to
watch
out
for
you
know,
but
plumber
and
a
labor
over
there,
since
you
know
when
you
see
them,
but
again,
congratulations
to
all
of
you
to
your
family's
congratulations.
You
should
be
very
proud
of
these
guys.
This
is
an
easy
being.
A
construction
worker
is
not
an
easy
thing,
but
what
it
is
it's
a
rewarding
thing.
It's
an
opportunity
to
provide
for
for
your
family
and
congratulations
on
that.
A
F
F
I
just
like
to
take
a
minute
to
quickly
thank
a
lot
of
people,
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this
program
and
I
just
like
to
thank
a
few
of
them
who
are
here
tonight.
Mr.
Kraft
Commissioner,
Evans
superintendent,
Kevin
Buckley,
Danny,
Mulhern,
Fred
evil,
as
Kim
pellet
wrote,
the
entire
Street
worker
team,
the
entire
building
trades
team
and
I'd
like
to
thank
Bobby
Butler
and
Bobbie
O'brien
and
Ricky
keel
for
hosting
us
tonight,
especially
John
Healy.
Let's
hear
for
them
to.
F
Danny
touched
on
in
a
min
ago,
but
I
would
also
like
to
thank
some
of
the
folks
that
make
it
happen
and
again
I'll.
Do
it
quickly,
Jojen
auto
makes
it
happen
every
day.
Tyrone
can
dell
makes
it
up
a
murder
from
the
pre-apprenticeship
program,
jordan,
otto
and
I
just
love
to
I'd
love
to
thank
them
because
they
make
opportunities
like
this
happen.
So
please,
let's
hear
for
them.
F
And
just
lastly
I
just
love
to
talk
about
what
we
see
as
a
building
trades
as
the
importance
of
this
work.
I'm
proud
to
be
a
member
of
laborers
local
2
to
3
for
18
years,
and
the
opportunities
I
had
because
of
my
local
unions
have
been
something
I'd
love
to
see.
All
of
you
have
as
we
move
forward,
but
about
five
years
ago
mayor
Walsh
joined
and
took
over
the
building
trades,
and
this
is
what
I
want
to
mention.
The
building
trades
does
great
things.
F
It
represents
35,000
workers,
it
has
3300
Union
contractor
partners
and
in
that
it
provides
health
care
to
every
family
member.
It
provides
a
retirement
benefit
for
every
worker
and
provides
a
family
sustaining
wage,
and
when
the
mayor
took
over,
he
said
this
is
great.
It
does
great
work,
but
it
doesn't
do
it
for
everyone.
We
have
to
reach
out
to
every
community
to
every
to
every
person
wherever
you
come
from
whatever
you
sound
like
whatever
you
might
look
like.
If
you
want
to
work
for
yourself,
you
want
to
work
for
your
family.
F
F
And
just
lastly,
I
do
think
that's
very
important,
because
here's
what's
in
front
of
us,
we
have
a
graduate
from
cycle,
one
who
joined
us
tonight,
but
I
just
like
to
tell
that.
Tell
the
folks
this
she
said
to
me
a
couple
of
years
ago
upon
her
graduation.
She
said
said:
listen
six
months
ago,
I
was
paying
for
my
groceries
with
food
stamps
and
I
was
living
in
public
housing
and
I
had
MassHealth
from
my
health
care
for
me
and
my
two
children
and
that's
great
because
it's
a
society
we
should
be
doing
that.
F
F
But
what
really
struck
me
and
here's
what
I'm
going
to
end
on
tonight?
What
really
struck
me
in
thinking
of
this?
You
are
a
great
group
of
folks.
You
are
a
great
team
and
it's
going
to
take
teamwork.
But
here's
what
struck
me.
She
said
this.
She
said
I
feel
fortunate.
That
I
can
now
provide
all
of
those
things
from
my
family
because
of
my
Union,
but
it
should
not
be
a
matter
of
fortune.
It
should
be
a
basic
standard
for
every
single
person
who
lives
and
works
in
our
communities.
F
So
that's
why
we
have
to
go
low
and
continue
to
talk
about
the
work
being
done
in
this
room
by
everybody
in
this
room
and
keep
championing
those
things
that
help
families.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
building
trades
welcome
to
the
team,
it's
a
great
team
and
we're
excited
to
have
you
and
let's
get
more
people
on
our
team.
Congratulations.
A
So
before
we
move
into
the
certificated
ceremony,
because
I'd
like
everyone
to
to
my
right
to
participate
in
that
we're
going
to
give
you
a
picture
of
what
it
is
like
now
having
gone
through
a
cycle
and
in
been
working
as
Brian
just
described
so
I'm
going
to
ask
my
friend
to
come
up,
he's
a
little
bit
nervous
and
and
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
what
his
universe
is
like.
Victoria,
I.
G
Doing
everybody
a
little
nervous,
but
first
time
speaking
since
you
get
this
out
the
way
before
the
program
police
say
this
operation
exit
is
a
great
program.
I
think
everybody
doing
Joe
the
mayor,
the
commissioner
Brian
everyone
that
put
this
together.
This
is
like
a
game
changer,
you
know
I
before
the
program
I
wasn't
I
wasn't
really
I
was
doing
something
with
my
life.
I
know:
I
could
I
can
do
better.
You
know
so.
I
was
just
running
the
streets.
G
Doing
nothing
in
jail,
came
home,
I
had
kids
need
a
better
life
for
my
kids,
and
also
I
received
a
phone
call
from
a
friend
of
mine
he's
actually
in
the
room
over
here.
Seeing
a
phone
call
and
I'm
actually
told
me
about
this
program
and
remind
you:
I
came
from
a
from
a
from
a
neighborhood
where
I
never
really
believed
anything.
Anybody
told
me
so
when
he
told
me
about
this
program.
I
didn't
really,
you
know
believe
it
came
in
here.
I
believe
John
Brian
spoken,
you
know.
G
Is
it
kind
of
sold
me
a
dream?
You
know.
I'm,
like
this
is
the
golden
ticket,
so
on,
went
through
the
program
and
everything
they
told
everything
they
said
actually
came
true.
You
know
I'm
working
now,
providing
for
my
family
saving
money
to
get
out.
You
gon
get
a
good
apartment,
hopefully
in
the
near
future
text
money
out
put
down
put
down
for
mortgage.
You
know
what
I
miss
this
program
is
better
Sorry
mate,
it's
better
than
me
inside
to
the
New
England
Patriots.
G
This
way,
this
way
better
than
that,
you
know
it's
a
real
game,
changing
like
you,
wake
up
every
morning
feeling
happy
for
yourself.
No,
you
making
legit
money,
you're
doing
legit
things
make
new
friends
and
they
just
you're
building
a
better
future
for
yourself.
So
thank
you
guys
for
coming
through
the
program,
make
it
happen
and
represent
yourself
you're,
not
a
thing.
Thank
you.
A
Frank
I
believe
them
you
with
a
phone
call
right
is
that
too
right
enough,
so
I
talked
a
little
bit
about
Street
works,
I'm
going
to
move
along
too,
but
there's
some
folks
community
partners,
Frank
Farrell,
has
been
a
huge
supporter
of
the
program
since
day
one
and
it
sent
a
number
of
referrals
to
us.
Rufus
was
here,
Frank
I
think
maybe
he
stepped
out
today
and
I'm.
Looking
at
Vincent
directly
in
front
of
me,
who
happen
to
send
a
a
wonderful
family.
A
Member
to
the
program
mayor,
you
might
remember
Vincent
from
lenox
tree
community
center
and
also
a
fantastic
community
partner.
I'm.
Sorry,
if
there
are
others
in
the
room
that
I'm
not
acknowledging
with
that
said,
that
is
now
for
victim.
We're
going
to
have
a
graduate
come
up
from
the
class
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
I
have
the
correct
person.
Is
that
we're
going
to
come
up
and
speak
to
us
all
right.
D
Even
of
everybody
I'm
sorry,
even
everybody
they
are
drawn
on
fellow
graduate
from
operation
cycle
tree.
My
name
is
Edward.
Morgan
I'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
myself.
27
years
old
group
and
dorchester
Boston
pretty
much
on
my
life.
I
was
an
Army
for
about
six
years.
I
figured
that
was
like
secure
Jane,
but
it
wasn't
feeling
too
much
for
that
I,
just
kind
of
had
a
random
job,
she's
kind
of
looking
for
something.
D
In
order
to
take
him,
my
family
and
I
know
secured
what's
going
on
for
my
life
and
that
I
didn't
really
have
no
clear
sense
of
direction.
So
I
was
doing
everything
from
a
driver
chef,
anything
at
the
name,
but
it
really
last
too
long,
not
that
those
aren't
good
jobs.
Anything
but
I
found
myself
getting
into
trouble.
Couldn't
really
sustain
these
jobs
and
you
know
that's
when
I
met
Freddy,
so
I
might
subject
they
talking
about
the
opportunity
and
you.
D
Nigel
Joe
literally
brought
us
through
everything
about
what
we
need
to
strive
for
the
program.
I
brought
us
to
every
trade
that
was
available
and
on
don't
that's
one
long,
I
guess
that's
when
everybody
started
saying
then
like
it
was
rope.
So
after
that,
a
pretty
much
new
comments
off
intended
that
I
was
going
to
be
a
labor
so
long.
It
just
seemed
like
my
job
I
felt
in
my
blood.
D
It
was
something
I
really
like
enjoy
at
the
heart
right
now:
I'm
working
for
Jenny
MA,
my
dance
mac
and
mobile
friendly
canvas
is
right
at
the
intersection
I
get
tired
after
work
going
in
early
I'm
not
really
used
to
it.
But
you
know:
I
take
the
elevator
to
the
top
floor.
I,
don't
knock
I,
see
my
whole
city
because
every
would
actually
everywhere,
because
I
lived
here
all
my
life.
D
So
you
know
I
enjoy
and
that
give
me
hour
drive
to
keep
pushing
I
do
what
I,
love
and
I
just
want
a
certain
path
to
our
brothers.
On
myself,
no
I
want
thank
rubber
craft.
My
gosh
Joe
no
surgery
Freddie
come
on.
Thank
you.
Everybody.
A
A
I'm
going
to
bring
up
Freddie
Velez,
why
are
you
Boston
Freddie's,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what?
Why
are
you?
Boston
is,
but
without
Freddie's
leadership
in
Kim
pellet
rose
before
Freddie
and
Freddie's
entire
team.
He
will
introduce
to
you
when
it
comes
up
to
speak.
It
just
wouldn't
be
possible.
They
are
the
great
facilitators
of
everything
from
partly
transportation
to
pay
roll
into
the
the
support.
That's
needed.
So
Freddie's
going
to
come
up,
he's
going
to
say
a
few
words
and
then
he's
going
to
go
right
into
the
certificate
program.
A
I
just
want
to
acknowledge
very
quickly
that
there
were
some
graduates
that
are
not
here,
I'm
told
by
Brian
summer
and
union
meetings.
Some
are
working
overtime
and
there's
also,
maybe
one
or
two
that
are
attending
school
tonight.
So
I
wanted
to
be
clear
that
this
is
not
a
reflection
of
the
entire
class
but
they're
doing
all
the
things
that
they're
supposed
to
be
doing
so
with
nothing
further
Freddie
come
on.
H
So
I'm
just
going
to
get
this
out
the
way
dan
told
me.
I
only
have
a
few
minutes
and
I
never
kind
of
stick
to
the
schedule.
Kim
back
here
smiling
because
she
knows
it's
true,
but
I'll.
Try.
My
best-
and
I
know
mr.
Kraft
is
here
for
a
little
bit
of
time,
so
I'll
try
to
kind
of
breeze
through
this,
but
on
behalf
of
while
you
first
and
foremost
I'd
like
to
thank
our
mayor
without
a
supportive
dedication,
none
of
this
would
be
possible
right,
I'm
sure.
H
If
you
guys
remember,
we've
done
a
number
of
different
activities
and
programs
and
the
mayor's
always
been
right
by
our
side
supporting
itself.
It's
just
not
a
normal
thing
across
the
country
as
it
is
here
right
and
the
mayor
has
always
been
looking
for
best
ways
to
serve
you
and
that's
not
a
thing
that
we
should
miss.
So
thank
you.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
mr.
Kraft
Thank
You
mr.
craft
fur,
for
providing
the
funds
to
that
pay.
H
The
young
people
that
paid
for
operation
exit
that
allow
us
to
do
what
we
do
as
Dan
talked
a
little
bit.
You
know
we
put
folks
on
payroll.
We
fully
understand
that
you
can
tax
folks
to
quit
their
jobs
and
be
with
us
for
three
four
weeks
and
not
be
able
to
provide
for
their
families.
You
know
I
stand
around
here
and
I.
Look
at
Travis
sitting
here
with
his
boy.
God
bless
him.
H
H
H
You
guys
don't
know,
I
get
phone
calls
at
six
o'clock
in
the
morning.
Eight
o'clock
at
night
text
messages
emails.
Do
you
know
about
this?
Do
you
know
about
that?
What's
going
on
with
this?
What's
going
on
with
that
he's
in
it
he's
in
it
and
he's
in
it
because
of
you,
he
believes
in
you.
He
believes
in
your
success
and
neck
with
the
right
support.
You
will
be
absolutely
successful
right
so
again,
thank
you,
Dan,
it's
just
the
guy,
the
man
I.
H
Also
want
to
recognize
speaking
of
the
men,
I'm
joe
de
nada
right,
there
hasn't
been
a
class,
yet
that
hasn't
said
you
know
what
shows
like
a
big
brother,
a
father
figure,
just
someone
that
we
care
about.
We
truly
respect
right,
I've,
seen
him
scream
at
folks,
shout
at
folks.
You
know
sometimes
where
it
folks
alright,
but
he
does
it
out
of
love
and
because
he
cares
about
you
alright.
So
with
that,
you
know,
I
think
we
should
all
recognize.
H
And
John
I
know
we
already
recognized
you,
but
I
want
to
recognize
you
myself.
Personally,
John
provides
a
space
for
this
to
happen
right.
He
opens
up
the
doors
he's
here,
early
he's
at
the
front
door
greeting
all
of
you.
Wasn't
he
right
every
morning
every
morning
he's
greeting
you
Cheryl's
here
smiling,
has
the
pot
of
coffee
ready
for
you.
So
we
should
thank
John
and
Cheryl
and
his
whole
team.
Something.
H
He
goes
my
man
skinny
I'm,
trying
to
try
to
catch.
You
catch
your
eyes
right
back
there
there
you
are.
They
were
here
that
we're
here
to
support
us
right,
then
we're
here
to
support
you
all
times.
We
we
ask
folks
to
be
here,
super
early
to
go
pick
up
the
van
to
drive
you
guys
around.
They
were
here.
They
did
it.
So
thank
you
and
your
whole
team
shot
and.
H
H
Don't
sit
down
yet
don't
sit
down
a
lot
of
the
folks.
Don't
know
this
team
in
the
room
right.
You
don't
know
this
team
for
a
bunch
of
different
reasons,
but
this
is
your
team.
These
are
the
movers
and
shakers
the
ones
that
are
making
it
happen,
each
and
every
day
at
y.o.u
right.
We
started
operation
exit
in
the
middle
of
summer
right
and
when
Kim
first
came
to
me
and
said:
hey
Fred,
we're
thinking
about
doing
operation
exit
sometime
like
july,
I
looked
at
and
I
was
like
you
crazy.
It's
just
no
way.
H
We
can't
make
that
happen.
We
employ
a
hundred
and
seventy
young
people
throughout
the
summer
right.
We
deploy
ten
different
teams
about
30,
different
internships,
there's
just
a
lot
going
on
and
we
have
a
very
limited
staff
and
when
I
said
or
when
she
said
to
be
we're
going
to
run
operation
X,
it
I'm
like
this
lady's
crazy,
but
we
made
it
happen.
Talk
to
the
team
of
teams
like,
let's
do
it
and
they
made
it
happen.
Folks
took
on
additional
work.
Folks
came
in
early,
so
some
folks
were
in
at
6-630
in
the
morning.
H
Weren't
leaving
the
office
till
6
630
at
night
right,
we
don't
get
paid
overtime.
We
don't
get
the
comp
time.
We
should
have
all
been
Union
folks,
but
we're
not
something
we
could
talk
about
to
the
bear
about.
H
Maybe
I
don't
know,
but
they
were
there
busing,
but
working
each
and
every
day
to
ensure
that
your
paycheck
got
cut
on
Friday
that
you
I
was
alright
and
if
it
wasn't,
we
met
try
to
make
it
right
right,
they're,
the
ones
they're,
the
true
unsung
heroes,
they're
ones,
busting,
butt
and
behind
the
scenes
making
this
program
happened,
I'm.
So
for
that
I.
Thank
my
entire
y
0
UT.
H
Now,
right
here,
man,
Linden
Vincent,
is
around
here
someplace
as
well.
Where
is
he
at
using
it?
Oh
Lyndon
we
affectionately,
call
them
pups
he's
also
the
one
that
kind
of
coordinates.
All
this
make
sure
is
that
we
make
this
safe
and
possible
for
all
you
right,
but
the
partnerships,
the
Boston
Police
Department.
We
make
this
right,
so
thank
you.
Linden
and
I
also
want
to
recognize
Kim.
H
H
And
kind
of
pass
the
reins
to
me.
So
thank
you,
lastly,
and
no
impress
her
time,
but
I
just
want
to
tell
you
guys
a
quick,
quick
story
and
I
promise
I'll
make
it
quick,
may
I
promise
right
so
years
ago,
years
and
years
ago.
Right,
let
me
tell
you
a
story
about
a
young
man
stands
wilfredo
velas.
Coincidentally,
we
share
the
same
last
name.
It's
my
dad
right!
Well,
Fredo
fellas
came
to
this
country
in
1974.
H
Right,
worked
odd,
odd
jobs
for
the
first
few
years,
the
first
ten
years
of
his
life
here
right
came
to
this
country
at
17
years
old.
He
wasn't
even
legal
to
get
on
a
plane
by
himself
came
here
by
himself
we're
two
three
jobs
at
a
time,
washing
dishes
we
even
floors
doing
whatever
he
could
find
as
a
job
right.
He
got
married
to
Valentina
velas,
my
mother
right.
H
H
It
was
because
he
was
bouncing
from
job
to
job
to
job
working,
two
or
three
jobs
at
a
time
two
or
three
jobs
at
a
time.
You
know
my
mother
never
really
knew
my
dad
just
didn't
know
him
love
them.
Love
me,
I
knew
he
loved
us
right
and
he
was
out
working
till
one
day
someone
told
I'm
put
in
an
application
for
the
MBTA.
H
You
might
get.
A
phone
call
puts
it
in
application
in
between
jobs
who
goes
downtown,
puts
in
an
application,
gets
hired
for
the
tea.
He
goes
from
working
three
jobs
to
working
two
jobs,
because
it
was
part
time
when
you
first
start
with
the
tea
to
work
in
one
job
from
I,
go
from
not
seeing
my
dad
a
ver
that
sometimes
seeing
them
to
now
he's
coaching.
My
little
league
team
right
taking
us
here
taking
us
there.
We
had
the
little
extras
we
could
go
on
family
vacations.
H
The
dream
of
wilfred
old
Bella's
when
he
came
to
this
country
was
to
sit
there
and
be
able
to
provide
for
his
family,
and
he
was
able
to
do
that
thanks
to
the
MBTA
and
local
you,
the
commons
Union
right,
where
he
earned
a
wage
that
he
could
take
care
of
all
four
of
his
kids
in
his
wife
right
dreams.
No
different
from
yours,
again,
I
see
Travis
here
and
I
know
the
most.
H
A
lot
of
you
guys
have
four
kids,
you
guys
are
gonna,
be
able
to
take
care
of
your
family
you're,
going
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
that
son
spend
time
with
coaching
and
do
everything
you
can
for
you
and
your
family
thanks
to
this
opportunity
right
so
I
want
to
congratulate
you
on
a
wish.
You
are
the
best,
keep
loving
those
kids
keep
loving
yourself
and
make
the
most
out
of
this
opportunity.
So
congratulations.

just
lastly,
I
see
I
see
Chucky
stand
up,
donate
cause

Blair,

Rodriguez
and

Can

I
want
to
give
them
a
round
of
applause,
also,
because
all
the
former

of
operation
exit

while
they

Fitters

Union

but
they're
