A
I,
you
know
this
month's
Department
of
innovation
and
performance
speaker
series
event.
My
name
is
David
finer
I'm.
The
communication
technology
manager
here
on
inp,
most
of
us
know
at
least
one
person
whose
big
night
diagnosed
with
at
least
some
kind
of
cancer.
If
not,
we
consider
ourselves
quite
lucky.
My
relationship
with
cancer
is
more
involved.
A
In
most
people's,
my
grandmother
was
died
of
breast
cancer
in
1972
my
sister
was
diagnosed
with
breast
cancer
on
her
30th
birthday
in
two
thousand,
my
mom
was
diagnosed
with
breast
cancer
three
times
between
2002
and
2014,
and
she
died
earlier
this
year
from
it.
My
dad
was
diagnosed
with
pancreatic
cancer
last
year
and
my
wife
was
also
diagnosed
with
early-stage
pre
breast
cancer
in
2012
I'm.
The
only
person
in
my
immediate
family
not
to
be
diagnosed
with
cancer,
but
there
is
a
chance
that
I'll
be
diagnosed
sometime
before
I
die.
A
Why?
Because
of
the
bracket
gene
mutation
that
affects
my
family,
my
wife's
family
also
has
the
bracket
gene
mutation,
so
learning
more
about
this
hereditary
mutation
has
been
very
important
to
us,
as
we've
created
our
own
family.
To
tell
us
more
about
the
bracket,
gene
is
our
first
speaker
for
today
my
wife
Brian,
a
seagull
finer
brian,
is
an
assistant
professor
of
English
and
the
director
of
writing
across
the
curriculum
at
Indiana
University
of
Pennsylvania.
Her
PhD
is
in
composition
and
rhetoric
she's,
currently
studying
how
women
with
genetic
mutations,
use,
writing
to
create
activist
communities.
A
B
So,
as
David
said,
many
of
us
know
people
who
have
had
cancer
or
breast
cancer,
but
through
recent
technology,
and
some
of
us
have
the
power
to
actually
know
our
own
risk
of
cancer.
So
I'm
here
representing
force,
which
is
facing
our
risk
of
cancer
empowered.
We
are
a
national
nonprofit
organization
devoted
to
improving
the
lives
of
individuals
and
families
affected
by
hereditary
breast
ovarian
cancer.
That
was
started
in
1999.
B
So
what
I'll
do
first
today,
I'll
do
three
things:
I'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
my
story,
which
is
similar
to
Dave's
story
of
his
own
family
I'm,
going
to
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
hereditary
breast
ovarian
cancer
and
also
provide
some
resources
and
information
about
how
to
get
support
for
your
own
family
or
loved
ones.
So,
I
hope
that
by
the
end
of
this
presentation,
you'll
see
how
the
information
that's
available.
Now,
thanks
to
advances
in
science
and
genetics
and
the
reduction
in
the
cost
of
genetic
testing
is
leading
to
saved
lives.
B
So
something
we
say
a
lot
in
the
HBO
see
community
is
that
information
is
power
and
that's
something
that
I
really
want
to
share
with
you.
So
before
I
share
some
of
the
information
and
resources
about
hereditary
cancer.
I'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
my
story.
Before
I
knew
Dave
I
was
29
years
old.
B
My
father's
first
cousin
was
diagnosed
with
breast
cancer,
and
at
that
time
they
had
recently
discovered
that
there
was
a
genetic
link
to
breast
cancer,
so
she
was
tested
for
the
bracket
gene
and
it
was
discovered
that
she
was
positive
for
that
mutation.
Everybody
has
the
gene,
but
she
was
determined
that
she
was
positive
for
the
mutation.
So
what
that
meant
was
she.
She
figured
out
that
she
had
inherited
this
gene
mutation
from
her
mother
who
had
died
from
breast
cancer
many
years
earlier.
Also
her
aunt
had
died
from
breast
cancer
as
well.
B
My
grandfather
had
also
died
from
cancer,
so
she
figured
that
she
should
probably
tell
my
father
about
this
information
said
he
too
could
get
tested
that
most
people
in
our
family
should
probably
be
tested
for
the
mutation
my
father
was
tested.
He
was
positive
for
the
mutation,
so
my
brother
and
I
were
both
tested.
B
We
were
both
positive
for
the
mutation,
so
at
that
point,
even
though
I
was
only
29
years
old
and
the
recommended
age
for
beginning
mammograms
is
not
until
40
and
at
this
point
they're
trying
to
push
that
actually
250
I
was
able
to
start
getting
mammograms
at
age.
29
and
I
was
really
lucky
about
that,
and
this
is
why
information
is
power,
because
when
I
was
36,
I
had
a
mammogram
that
probably
saved
my
life.
I
was
diagnosed
with
DCIS,
which
is
an
early
pre
stage.
B
Breast
cancer
and
my
doctors
determined
that
because
of
my
high
risk,
because
I
have
this
bracha
mutation-
that
it
was
very
likely
that
it
could
develop
into
invasive
cancer,
so
I
had
a
mastectomy
at
that
point.
I
also
had
a
hysterectomy
and
my
ovaries
removed
because
of
my
high
risk
of
ovarian
cancer
and
other
perinatal
cancers
as
well,
so,
but
because
of
that,
I
feel
really
confident.
B
Now
that
I'm
not
going
to
die
from
breast
cancer
ovarian
cancer,
whereas
had
I
not
had
this
information
that
pre-cancer,
that
was
in
my
body,
could
have
easily
just
been
growing
and
growing
and
growing
until
I
turned
40
or
maybe
I
didn't
get
to
40
and
then
I
finally
was
caught
on
a
mammogram
which,
at
that
point
it
could
have
been
invasive
and
really
deadly.
At
that
point,
so
when
Dave
and
I
met,
breast
cancer
was
something
that
we
talked
about
on
our
first
date.
B
It
was
very
romantic,
but
so
it
was
something
that
we've
always
talked
about,
because
we
both
have
that
commonality
in
our
families
and
it's
something
that
has
been
important
to
us
as
we
planned
our
own
family.
Knowing
that
our
own
child,
who
you
can
here
is
also
has
the
possibility
of
having
that
genetic
mutation
as
well.
So
what
is
hereditary
cancer?
B
You
can
have
preventive
surgery
or
you
can
do
risk
management
through
surveillance
through
mammograms
or
the
or
through
MRIs
or
through
other
types
of
screening
about
ten
percent
of
all
cancers
are
caused
by
a
gene,
change
called
a
mutation
that
people
inherit
and
you
can
inherit
it
from
your
mother
or
your
father,
and
this
is
what
causes
cancer
to
run
in
families.
So
it's
not
typically
a
coincidence
when
there's
a
lot
of
cancer
in
one
family,
it
usually
is
because
of
a
gene
mutation.
B
B
Sister
mutations
caused
a
large
increase
in
breast
ovarian
and
other
cancers,
also
including
pancreatic,
prostate
and
melanoma,
and
we
call
these
collectively
HBO
see
other
mutations
such
as
those
listed
here
in
this
second
line,
have
also
been
linked
to
HBO
see,
but
we're
just
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
them.
The
brachle
one
gene
was
discovered
in
1990,
so
a
lot
of
research
has
been
done
on
that
for
the
last
30
so
years.
These
other
genes
are
really
just
learning
a
little
bit
more
about
them
now.
B
Other
cancer
syndromes,
such
as
Lynch
syndrome,
can
increase
the
risk
for
breast
and
ovarian
cancer
and
also
increase
the
risk
for
other
cancers
that
are
not
found
with
Braca
such
as
colon
cancer.
Some
people
undergo
genetic
testing
for
these
mutations
and
they
might
receive
a
negative
or
an
uncertain
result,
and
some
families
have
a
strong
family
history
with
no
known
mutation,
but
in
the
absence
of
certain
mutations
or
in
certain
test
results,
experts
often
rely
on
a
family's
medical
history
to
help
determine
cancer
risk.
B
So
genetics
is
really
complicated
and
that's
why
it's
really
important
to
involve
a
genetic
expert.
So
if
you
do
decide
to
go
for
genetic
testing
or
if
you've
thought
about
that,
you
really
don't
want
to
go
to
a
lab
where
they're
just
going
to
do
like
a
or
get
one
of
those
like
cotton.
Swab
that
you
know
cheek
swab
thing
kits
that
you
can
get
online
and
just
have
it
sent
away.
B
You
really
want
to
go
through
UPMC
or
through
Allegheny
General,
where
you
can
hook
up
with
a
genetic
counselor
and
talk
to
somebody
about
what
the
results
might
mean
and
then
afterwards,
what
the
results
do
mean
before
you
really
get.
You
know
get
involved
in
that
there
are
different
tests
available.
There's
blood
tests,
they're
cheek
swabs,
to
identify
gene
mutations.
B
There
are
different
panels
of
gene
mutation
tasks
that
can
identify
a
lot
of
different
mutations,
in
addition
to
Bracken
one
in
bracket
2,
and
these
mutations
demonstrate
different
risk
for
different
cancers
and
at
different
lifetime
risk
ranges
than
Bracken
one
in
bracket
2.
So
as
more
people
are
having
panel
testing,
we
will
begin
to
see
more
people
with
these
types
of
mutations,
and
that
gives
us
more
information
which
again
gives
us
more
power
to
help
treat
and
and
do
research
on
this
sort
of
stuff
hereditary.
B
Breast
and
ovarian
cancer
is
different
from
sporadic
cancer
and
the
difference
has
to
do
with
overall
lifetime
risk,
and
this
is
again
why
knowledge
is
power.
Why
would
you
want
to
know
if
you
have
a
gene
mutation
other
than
the
fact
that
you
might
be
able
to
head
it
off?
As
you
can
see
in
this
chart,
someone
with
the
brac
mutation
has
a
much
higher
lifetime
risk
for
breast
and
ovarian
cancer
than
the
general
population.
B
So,
while
the
general
well,
somebody
in
the
general
population
might
have
a
12
and
a
half
percent
chance
of
developing
breast
cancer,
which
is
already
really
high
scary.
High.
Already
somebody
with
a
bracket
mutation
has
up
to
an
eighty-five
percent
chance
of
developing
breast
cancer
in
their
lifetime,
which
is
terrifyingly
high.
B
So
women
also
have
a
higher
risk
of
fallopian
tube
and
primary
peritoneal
cancer,
which
are
all
similar
to
and
treated
like
ovarian
cancer,
and,
as
many
of
us
know,
there
really
is
no
no
way
to
determine
if
somebody
has
ovarian
cancer
until
they're
really
close
to
dying
from
ovarian
cancer.
There's
really
no
way
to
determine.
If
somebody
has
that.
So
that's
why
many
women
opt
for
a
preventative
surgery
to
remove
their
ovaries
rather
than
waiting
to
determine.
B
If
there's
something
going
on
there,
men
have
a
slightly
higher
risk
for
male
breast
cancer,
but
because
risk
assessment
is
not
yet
an
exact
science
and
different
studies
have
shown
different
ranges
of
risk.
Genetic
experts
use
a
risk
range
to
sort
of
say
that
you
can
see
a
risk
of
forty
to
eighty
five
percent
chance,
so
you
could
still
can
see
that
that
is
a
high
risk
range,
but
it's
still
a
range.
The
same
thing
is
true
for
prostate
cancer.
B
The
risk
ranges
from
15
to
25
percent
versus
fourteen
percent
in
the
general
population
and
slightly
higher
for
pancreatic
and
melanoma
for
men
and
women
with
a
bracha
mutation.
So
those
are
all
things
to
consider
to
the
other
reasons.
The
other
way
that
hereditary
cancer
is
different
than
sporadic
cancer
is
that
it
can
occur
at
a
younger
age
and
it
tends
to
occur
younger
as
generations
proceeds.
B
So
what
I
mean
by
that
is
that
in
my
family,
for
instance,
like
I,
said
my
second
cousin
she,
her
mother
and
her
aunt
and
my
grandfather's
to
that
generation,
they
were
all
diagnosed
and
passed
away
from
cancer,
breast
cancer,
ovarian
cancer
and
liver
cancer
when
they
were
in
their
70s.
My
second
cousin,
my
father's
cousin
and
his
brother.
So
she
had
breast
cancer.
He
died
from
frost
from
from
pancreatic
cancer
when
they
were
in
their
50s
and
60s.
B
So
they're
already
younger
I
was
diagnosed
when
I
was
36
and
my
first
cousin
was
diagnosed
when
she
was
28,
so
it
gets
younger
and
younger
and
younger,
and
that's
why
another
reason
why
somebody
would
want
to
know
if
they
have
a
genetic
mutation
and
why
it's
different
than
a
sporadic
cancer
there's,
definitely
a
misconception
that
a
gene
mutation
for
breast
cancer
can
only
be
passed
down
from
someones
mother.
That
is
not
the
case.
Like
I
said,
my
mutation
is
from
my
father
and
there's
a
fifty
percent
chance.
B
B
However,
you
don't
always
see
it
in
your
cancer
history,
so
if
you
were
adopted
or
if
the
mutation
was
passed
down
from
a
father
to
a
son
to
another
son
to
another
son
and
then
to
a
daughter
that
daughter
might
not
know
that
she's
at
risk,
because
her
father
and
grandfather
and
great-grandfather
never
had
never
exhibited
any
signs
of
cancer
or
never
had
cancer.
There's
also
an
increased
risk
if
you
have
a
HBO
see
for
a
new
primary
cancer
diagnosis
with
a
bracha
mutation.
B
So
this
is
a
new
diagnosis
is
not
the
same
as
a
recurrence,
so
Dave's
mother's
first
cousin
had
cancer
two
times
I.
Think
one
was
fallopian
and
wellness
breast
cancer
because
of
her
Braca
mutation
to
the
same
bracket,
mutation
that
Dave's
mother
had
and
that's
because
she
had
the
recommendation.
So
she
was.
B
So
there's
a
lot
of
risk
for
a
second
or
even
a
third
diagnosis
and,
like
Dave
said
his
mother
had
breast
cancer
three
times,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
options
for
managing
risk,
and
this
is
where
force
comes
in.
To
sort
of
provide
resources
and
support.
Options
include
monitoring
so
trying
to
detect
cancer
early
at
its
most
treatable
stage,
chemoprevention
and
risk
reducing
surgery.
The
type
of
risk
management
may
be
different
depending
on
the
type
of
mutation
there's
no
way
to
completely
avoid
cancer,
of
course,
but
there
are
ways
to
manage
and
reduce
risk.
B
The
fact
that
members
of
the
hbic
community
have
knowledge
and
options
without
a
cancer
diagnosis
is
created.
A
unique
community
called
pre.
Vipers
providers
are
people
who
are
at
an
increased
risk
of
cancer,
but
have
not
actually
had
cancer
I'm,
so
force
coined
this
term
pre
vyver
in
response
to
members
of
the
community,
who
said
you
know
that
I
need
a
label,
I
need
be
called
something,
and
it's
much
more
than
just
a
label.
It
gives
a
sense
of
belonging
to
a
community.
B
It
validates
fears
and
concerns,
and
it
allows
this
group
of
high-risk
stakeholders
to
advocate
for
research
and
resources.
How
do
you
know
if
someone
might
be
at
risk
for
HBO
see?
There
are
signs
that
you
can
look
out
for
and
they
can
help
identify.
Somebody
may
be
at
risk,
so
I'm
just
going
to
leave
this
up
for
a
minute
and
talk
a
little
bit
because
I
know
this
is
this
kind
of
violates?
B
The
signs
can
include
breast
cancer
under
the
age
of
50,
multiple
cancers
in
the
same
woman
and
breast
cancer
and
Men,
and
those
are
signs
that
you
would
want
to
be
tested
for
a
bracket
mutation
to
know
if
this
is
in
your
family,
if
you
are
at
high
risk,
if
your
children
might
be
at
high
risk
or
other
members
of
your
family,
even
if
you
don't
have
children,
you
would
to
possibly
alert
other
family
members.
If
you
have
a
gene
mutation,
heritage
can
also
play
a
part
in
HBO.

mutation,
that's
10
times
higher
than
the
general
population
about
forty
percent
of
Jewish
women
with
ovarian
cancer,
have
a
bracha
mutation
and
about
twenty
percent
of
Jewish
people
diagnosed
with
bracket
cancer
with
breast
cancer
before
age
50
have
a
mutation
and,
like
I,
said
at
Angelina
Jolie,
her
heritage
is
Quebec
n
or
something
like
that.
Some
French
Canadian
something
and
that
population
of
people
is
also
really
susceptible
to
this,
as
I
mentioned
before.
It's
really
important
to
think
about
genetic
counseling
before
genetic
testing.
B
B
Some
additional
reasons
that
you
should
have
genetic
counseling
is,
if
you
have
a
unique
and
ancestry
family,
medical
history
or
other
factors
play
a
part
in
which
which
type
of
genetic
test
is
recommended.
There's
different
genetic
tasks
they're
not
all
the
same.
There
are
mutations
other
than
Braca
that
can
cause
breast
ovarian
and
other
cancers
to
run
in
families.
B
So
you
might
test
negative
for
a
bracket
gene,
but
you
might
still
have
cancer
running
in
your
family
and
in
genetic
counselor
would
know
how
to
discuss
that
with
you
or
spot
those
hereditary
symptoms,
and
also
genetic
testing
can
cost
between
three
hundred
and
forty-five
hundred
dollars
so
depending
on
which
test
you
might
need.
A
genetic
counselor
can
make
sure
that
the
correct
test
is
ordered
and
can
also
help
you
make
sure
that
insurance
will
cover
it.
So,
as
noted,
although
the
test
is
simple,
it's
just
a
cheek
swab
or
a
blood
test.
B
There
are
a
lot
of
factors
that
require
genetic
counselor,
so
test
results
are
not
usually
just
positive
or
negative.
They
sometimes
come
back
as
an
in-form
or
none
formative
or
a
variant
of
unknown
significance.
So
force
feels
really
strongly
about
genetic
counseling
after
genetic
testing,
because
it's
not
uncommon
to
read
the
tests
incorrectly.
B
So
there's
information
on
risk
management
options
and
uninformed
negative
means
there
might
be
a
different
gene
change
other
than
Baraka,
causing
the
cancer
in
the
family.
But
sharing
results
is
what's
really
important
that
can
help
other
family
members
better
understand
their
risk
for
hereditary
cancers,
and,
what's
also
really
important,
is
that
there
is
a
there
are
laws
that
protect
against
genetic
discrimination.
This
is
a
really
recent.
Just
over
the
last
few
years
it
used
to
when
I
was
tested
for
the
bracket
mutation.
B
I
could
not
tell
my
doctor,
because
if
my
doctor
wrote
it
in
her,
my
primary
care
physician
wrote
it
in
her
notes
and
that
went
to
my
insurance
carrier.
They
were
legally
allowed
to
drop
me
from
my
insurance
as
a
health
as
a
risk,
so
employers
at
that
time
didn't
have
to
hire
you
if
they
felt
that
you,
if
they
knew
that
you
had
a
genetic
risk
of
a
of
a
disease
like
cancer
or
some
other
genetic
disease.
So
now
the
genetic
information
non-discrimination
Act
is
in
place.
B
It
prohibits
health,
insurers
and
employers
from
discrimination
based
on
your
genetic
information
or
status.
It
doesn't
apply
to
life,
disability
or
long-term
care
insurance,
unfortunately,
but
it
does
place
protections
under
HIPAA
and
the
Affordable
Care
Act,
so
that
allows
you
some
freedom
as
well.
So,
lastly,
I
just
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
force.
There
is
a
local
chapter
of
force
in
Pittsburgh
force.
Also
has
a
really
amazing
website,
where
you
can
find
their
helpline
local
support
message:
boards
chat
rooms,
tons
of
pictures
and
information,
Reese
links
to
research,
they
do
a
national
conference.
B
B
Yes,
so
this
year
is
going
to
be
in
orlando,
it's
the
largest
annual
gathering
of
people
with
Bracken
mutations
and
hereditary
cancer,
there's
tons
of
presentations
by
surgeons
by
genetic
counselors
by
oncologists.
But
if
you're
interested
in
forced
or
learning
more
about
us,
you
can
go
to
the
website.
It's
facing
our
wrists
org
and
there.
You
can
also
find
information
about
the
local
group
which
is
in
Pittsburgh,
and
this
is
our
information.
B
It's
on
facebook
to
facebook.com,
slash,
force,
pittsburgh
and
those
are
outreach,
coordinators,
robin
and
cole,
and
either
them
would
be
happy
to
talk
to
you
more
about
this.
If
you

your
choice.
B
C
Okay,
our
next
speaker,
in
keeping
with
our
theme
of
health
and
wellness.
This
is
health
and
wellness
month
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
preventive
is
going
to
be
rolling
forward.
Roland
organization
is
Pete
is
peace.
Positive
energy
always
creates
excellent.
He
is
a
certified
personal
fitness
trainer.
He
is
a
group
exercise
instructor
a
certified
dance
instructor,
a
choreographer,
a
marathon
runner
and
my
personal
experience
with
Rowland
has
been
while
I've
taken
several
of
his
classes.
First
night
and
city
parks.
D
All
right,
well
I,
do
want
to
thank
Stacey
hill,
David,
fine
and
any
of
the
members
of
the
innovation
and
performance
group
for
asking
us
to
come
and
be
with
all
you
wonderful
people
here
this
afternoon.
So
my
name
is
Roland
fort
and
has
anyone
seen
anything
that
I've
done
in
terms
of
dance
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh?
Alright,
so
few
people
are
familiar
and
many
are
not,
but
my
name
is
rolling
fork.
I
am
a
product
of
Pittsburgh
I'm
known
for
physical
activities
running
and
dancing,
not
really
a
public
speaker.
D
This
is
actually
my
first
time
doing
this
so
I
hope
you'll,
be
patient
and
bear
with
me
as
I
struggle
to
try
to
find
some
words.
I'm
used
to
talking
with
my
feet
primarily
but
I'm
born
and
raised
in
Pittsburgh,
grew
up
in
a
hill
district
little
neighborhood
at
the
top
of
the
hill
called
sugar
top
is
my
stomping
grounds,
lived
on
milwaukee
street
and
grew
up
with
a
mother,
father,
very
loving,
active
people
and
I
have
six
siblings
four
sisters,
two
brothers.
D
Some
of
you
have
heard
the
little
story.
There
was
an
old
lady
who
lived
in
a
shoe
has
so
many
children.
She
didn't
know
what
to
do
not
quite
like
that.
Okay,
but
you
know,
seven
children
in
my
family
I
thought
I
have
a
sister
here
and
at
one
point
in
my
time
my
father,
a
very
loving
person,
allowed
his
brother
and
his
family
to
move
in
with
us.
D
They
were
on
the
first
floor.
We
were
on
the
second
floor
and
then
before
they
actually
moved
out.
He
also
allowed
his
sister
and
her
failing
to
move
with
a
in
with
us
on
a
third
floor.
So
at
that
point
we
had
15
children
in
one
household
and
surprisingly,
all
the
rest
of
the
neighborhood
was
always
over
our
house
anyway,
so
not
the
little
lady,
but
quite
a
few
children.
D
Neighborhood
school
was
right
down
the
street
playground
and
we
walked
everywhere.
This
was
before
they
had
all
the
busing
that
they
have
for
schools
now
so
got
a
lot
of
work
with
our
feet,
and
this
was
before
the
age
of
xbox
and
all
this
other
stuff.
Where
kids
are
inside.
You
know
we
were
outside
all
the
time,
we're
outside
playing
hopscotch
running
game,
so
on
and
so
forth.
D
I
went
to
shun
Lee,
High
School,
there's
a
big
triangular
building
and
Oakland
that
is
not
operating
as
a
school
anymore.
It's
just
sitting.
There
wasn't
healthy
enough
to
continue
as
a
school
I
think.
One
day
it's
going
to
become
condominiums,
though
I
bet
on
that,
but
anyway,
Shelly
high
school
sports
was
a
big
thing.
There,
my
senior
year
in
1966,
we
actually
actually
had
the
State
basketball
championship
team
class
of
66,
so
forth
basketball.
D
D
We
didn't
get
the
recognition
that
the
basketball
team
got,
but
my
senior
year
actually
set
the
school
record
for
the
two-mile
it
might
have
been
because
it
was
the
first
year
they
had
it,
and
I
just
happened
to
have
the
bestest
time,
but
also
in
my
senior
year
our
cross-country
team
won
the
city
championship.
That
was
significant
to
me,
because
I
was
the
captain
of
the
team
and
I
was
the
facto
coach
of
the
team.
D
I
say
that
because
the
first
three
years
our
coach
was
with
us
and
then
he
retired
and
it
had
the
final
replacement.
They
got
the
swimming
coach
to
come
and
Costa
cross
country
team
and
he
knew
a
good
bit
about
backstroke
and
breast
stroke,
but
didn't
know
very
much
about
running
so
I
created
all
the
workouts
and
kind
of
guided
the
team
members
to
a
very
successful
season
continued
running
when
I
went
to
Columbia
University
New
York
City.
D
That's
where
I
met
my
wonderful
wife.
She
always
asked
me
not
to
point
her
out
married
42
years,
my
better
half,
of
course,
and
New
York
City.
All
kind
of
things
were
happening
at
that
time.
The
assassination
of
martin
luther
king
and
a
few
months
later,
Robert
Kennedy
it
was
really
the
best
in
the
worst
of
times.
So
we
got
into
all
kinds
of
things.
In
addition
to
school,
community
development
worked
on
Wall
Street
for
a
little
period
of
time.
D
D
At
the
age
of
31,
I
ran
into
a
good
friend
of
Mines.
He
was
part
of
the
cross
country
and
track
teams
stayed
in
the
army
stayed
in
shape.
He
saw
me
I
had
a
little
potbelly
and
he
said
rolling.
You
know
what
you
need
to
run.
A
great
race
train
for
six
weeks
got
involved
in
a
great
race,
and
this
little
poster
here
says:
I
ran
my
first
great
race
30
some
years
ago
and
haven't
stopped
running
sense.
D
So
here,
a
few
years
ago,
in
my
60s,
I
ran
30
races
in
two
and
a
half
years
of
one,
my
age
group,
29
times
great
race,
Pittsburgh,
half
marathon,
lots
of
other
stuff,
yeah
yeah,
all
right
so
I
mean
I.
Tell
people
it's
never
too
late,
never
too
early
to
work
on
getting
healthier,
developing
a
healthier
lifestyle.
D
So
through
running
I
met
many
people.
We
ran
on
national
championship
teams
and
other
things,
but
we
would
form
groups
of
people
to
practice
together
and
to
run
races
together
and
one
of
those
groups.
There
was
a
young
lady
who
got
invited
to
a
class
didn't
want
to
go
by
self.
Asked
me
to
go
with
her
and
in
the
fall
2006
we
went
to
this
class
was
actually
turned
out
to
be
a
line.
Dance
class
I
had
never
seen
lion
dancing
before
and
it
was
very
exciting
to
me.
I
was
very
intrigued
by
it.
D
The
girl
who
first
went
with
me
never
came
back,
but
I
went
back
every
week.
This
was
that
warrant
church
in
the
heel,
Stella
Hopewell
was
conducting
an
exercise
class
for
the
church
members.
Her
brother
who's
in
Philadelphia
had
been
sending
her
VHS
tapes
Philadelphia.
This
was
a
major
big
thing
going
on
down
here:
30
40,
different
big
line,
dance
groups,
so
I
got
a
chance
to
see
it
a
month
or
so
later.
D
Couple
months
later,
I'm
working
out
at
the
ymca
at
different
life,
CA
and
song
comes
on
a
PA
system
and
I
start
doing
a
dance
step,
and
then
people
are
saying
wow
that
looks
really
good.
Can
you
show
us
how
to
do
it
so
I'm
showing
a
couple
people
how
to
do
this
dance
step
before
I
finish
the
director
of
the
wives
he
was
walking
through
and
when
your
lady
red
/
said
this
guy
gotta
start
teaching
the
class
march
two
thousand
seven,
we
started
teaching
dance.
D
From
that
class
there
was
an
elderly
person
who
had
another
brother
in
Philadelphia
who
contacted
me.
He
said
rolling.
Are
you
going
to
go
to
united?
We
dance
I
said
what
does
he
united?
We
dance.
So
he
told
me
there's
this
big
event.
We
got
together
three
or
four
carloads
of
people
went
to
Detroit
Michigan
to
the
united.
We
dance
convention
over
a
thousand
people
from
all
across
the
United
States
dance
in
heaven,
a
time
in
our
lives
and
I
allowed
me
to
see
kind
of
the
big
picture.
Let's
say
wow.
D
D
D
Wild
up
in
the
New
Year's
Eve
downtown
doing
lied
to
answer
this
part
of
first
night
New,
Year's
Eve.
We
started
I
think
december,
two
thousand
nine
we're
doing
it
every
year.
Since
then,
last
year
we
were
on
a
high
mark
main
stage
with
thousand
people
in
the
street.
We've
done
several
festivals
down
down
where
they
closed
off,
Main
Street,
Pittsburgh's,
largest
lion
dance,
but
really
our
crown
jewel
has
been
a
relationship
we
developed
with
city
of
Pittsburgh,
Parks
and
Recreation.
This
past
summer
we
did
16
events
in
five
different
parks.
D
All
around
the
city
biggest
one
has
been
in
Highland
Park
and
what
happened
was
they
have
jazz
concerts?
There
thousand
people
sitting
on
the
lawn
I
happen
to
notice
this
without
really
knowing
what
was
going
on
and
I
say
it
well,
since
I'm
a
runner
and
I
like
the
train
I'm
going
to
train
at
six
o'clock
on
sunday,
because
the
jazz
concert
was
for
five
to
seven
in
Holland
Park.
D
So
what
I
would
do
is
run
like
real
slow
around
the
back
of
the
park
and
when
I
get
around
to
the
front
where
these
thousand
people
are,
you
know
I'm
profiling,
kind
of
showing
off
and
then
I
said
you
know.
Let
me
be
innovative,
let
me
be
creative
and
found
out.
They
had
electricity
on
the
on
the
poles
there
and
I
told
my
group
I
said:
I
tell
you
what
we're
going
to
have
class
at
seven
o'clock
on
sunday
didn't
have
a
permit
anything
like
that.
D
They're
plug
my
equipment
up,
the
jazz
concert,
went
from
five
to
seven
when
they
played
their
last
note,
I
put
on
the
electric
slide
almost
like
the
salmon
coming
upstream.
All
these
people
come
over
and
they
start
dancing
to
the
music,
and
then
we
start
teaching
a
few
dances.
It
got
bigger.
Every
week
and
I
said
you
folks,
like
line
dancing
in
the
park
call
city
parks
enter
my
email
say
we
like
line
dancing
an
apartment
before
the
end
of
the
summer.
I
got
calls
from
downtown.
D
They
said
tell
these
people
with
a
quick
calling
us
and
send
us
emails.
Then
I
was
invited
to
a
meeting
where
I
thought
I
was
going
to
get
reprimanded
or
chastise
I
had
a
meeting
with
Duane
Ashley
who
at
that
time
was
director
of
Parks
and
Recreation.
He
wrote
me
out
a
check
and
said
rolling.
Can
you
do
more
and
that's
how
we
started
our
relationship
with
dancing
in
the
park
that
was
in
the
summer?
2008
we've
been
doing
it
every
since
then
we
would
find
people
doing
things
and
say:
hey.
D
D
Last
two
years,
we've
done
gospel
line,
dancing
at
12
to
14
different
churches
for
high
mark
the
summer.
We
did
a
number
of
programs
for
Allegheny
General,
so
we're
working
with
all
the
health
providers
in
the
city.
The
summer
Darlene
assisted
me
to
do
a
project
summer,
dreamers
Academy,
where
we
had
50
third
graders
for
Pittsburgh,
Public,
Schools,
and
so
we're
working
with
schools,
churches,
community,
centers,
all
different
types
of
individuals.
We
found
other
ways
to
get
people
moving
and
excited,
so
we
came
up
with
a
concept
called
the
1
million
step
challenge.
D
We
did
two
events
last
year
and
we
invited
other
instructors:
Zumba
salsa,
African
dance
with
drummers
hip,
hop,
aerobics,
boot,
camp,
etc.
We
all
get
together.
Everyone
nah
I'm,
wearing
a
Fitbit
right
here,
but
people
would
have
a
pedometer
some
type
of
counting
the
base
and
what
we
did
was
we
went
for
six
to
eight
hours,
a
few
of
us
most
people
would
do
one
or
two
programs,
but
we've
done
four
or
five
different
events
where
we
got
over
a
million
steps,
everybody
doing
a
little
bit
put
it
all
together.
D
Our
most
recent
one
was
actually
in
Las
Vegas
Nevada
a
couple
weeks
ago.
We
did
the
1
million
step
challenge
as
part
of
a
national
dance
event
out
there,
but
we
were
trying
to
find
different
ways
to
get
people
moving,
because
we
all
know
that
movement
and
exercise
is
a
key
component
and
being
proactive
with
being
healthy.
But
most
of
us
I
mean
myself
I,
don't
really
want
to
go
to
the
gym
and
do
sit-ups
and
push-ups
and
but
wait
throughout
I
mean
how
many
people
really
like
to
do
that
a
few.
D
But
if
you
can
have
fun
doing
your
exercise,
I
believe
people
would
have
a
tendency
to
do
it
a
little
bit
more
often,
okay.
So
anyway,
we
found
an
innovative
way
to
get
kids
involved.
I,
don't
know
if
you
can
pull
up
this
video
here
found
out
in
working
with
kids
if
we
could
get
them
to
actually
have
the
ability
to
choose
their
own
music
that
they
like
and.
D
C
D
Other
thing
in
this
in
this
particular
dance
is
the
kids
are
allowed
to
scream
and
shout
and
they're
allowed
to
run
around
okay
we're
normally
you
know.
When
you
have
a
group
of
kids,
you
talked
to
sit
down,
be
quiet,
you
know,
don't
make
any
noise,
that's
good
enough!
That's
good!
So,
and
then
we
love
to
try
to
be
inclusive
and
make
it
available
for
everyone
this
summer
in
July.
D
If
you
want
to
be
able
to
bring
that
up
when
we're
doing
a
gospel
line,
dancing
at
several
churches,
I
met
a
young
lady
and
she
was
telling
me
her
story,
and
she
said
you
know
what
I
have
my
birthday
next
month
and
I
said.
You
know
what
I'm
going
to
do
a
special
dance
for
you
at
your
birthday
party.
D
E
D
We
selected
some
music
that
we
thought
that
she
would
be
comfortable
with
and
put
together
a
step,
not
teach
two
classes
a
week
at
the
thermal
level.
Ymca
with
seniors
and
I
shared
this
video
with
them,
because
I
said
now,
you
guys
have
no
excuse
right,
Emily,
Kirsten's,
103
years
old
and
she's
able
to
do
it.
D
Hearing
impaired
visually,
impaired
mobility,
impaired
mentally
challenged,
so
I
guess
that's
why
Stacy
asked
me
to
come
and
speak
to
you
guys,
because
we've
tried
to
be
creative
and
find
different
ways
where
we
can
bring
what
is
really
helpful
to
us.
10
days
ago,
I
had
the
anniversary
of
my
birth
and
I
turned
67.
D
But
I
get
up
and
I
feel
like
a
billion
dollars
every
day.
I
thought
I
would
be
innovative
and
create
adapts
for
the
song
that
he
wrote
for
me
and
actually
share
it
with
you
guys
today.
So
in
a
few
minutes,
we're
going
to
ask
a
few
of
you
to
be
brave,
get
out
of
your
comfort
zone
and
come
up
here
and
you're
actually
going
to
experience
what
we
do
right.
We
take
people
who
do
not
dance.
D
We
got
anybody,
think
they
have
two
left
feet
here
right
and
actually
help
you
to
to
get
up
and
get
moving.
They
say
a
picture's
worth
a
thousand
words,
so
we
have
a
few
pictures
here,
a
couple
videos,
but
nothing
beats
first-hand
experience
all
right,
so
I'm,
going
to
ask
for
a
couple
volunteers
to
come
up
here
with
me.
Come
on
up
come
up
here
with
me.
I
would
love
to
get
somebody
who
has
never
done
this
with
me
before
to
come
up.
D
B
C
D
You
can
do
it
guys
to
guys
to
when
we
go
to
the
park
and
we
do
different
events.
Is
we
walk
through
I
dance
them
before
k
to
music?
Okay,
that's
why
I
said:
if
anybody
wants
to
come,
you
can
learn
it
before.
We
play
the
music
okay,
all
right
so
anyway,
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
go
three
to
the
right,
clap
three
to
the
left.
Clap.
Ok,
just
watch
me
far,
so
I'm
going
to
go
right.
D
Two
three
left
two,
three,
alright,
so
I
want
you
to
try
it
with
me,
5643
to
the
right
so
right
to
three
left.
Two:
three,
all
right
now,
we're
just
going
to
go
side
to
side
right
left
right
left
are
going
to
put
those
two
together
right.
Five,
six
walk
three
to
the
right:
go
right,
two:
three
side
to
side:
here
we
go
one,
two,
three,

we're
gonna
do
something
again.
Here
we
go
right.
Two
three
left
two,
three,
five,
two
five
one,
two,
three,
four
all
right:
kiddies
folks
a
hand.
C
D
Two,
instead
of
going
side
to
side
I'm
going
to
go
kind
of
like
vertically,
it's
really
going
to
be
the
same
thing.
Just
watch
me.
First,
I'm
going
to
go
right.
Two
three
left
two
three
right
left
right
left
same
thing.
We
did
side
the
side,
we're
just
going
to
do
it
up
and
die.
So
we
got
to
go
right.
Two
three
left
two
three
back
right
left
right
up
again.
Here
we
go
right.
D
Two
three
left
two,
three
five,
one,
two,
three
four
we're
halfway
all
right,
part
3
part
3,
I'm
going
to
do
heel,
toe
heel,
toe
right,
foot,
heel,
toe
heel,
toe
left,
foot,
right,
heel,
toe
heel,
toe
heel,
toe
heel,
toe
double
right;
double
left!
Do
it
with
me.
Here
we
go
heel-toe,
heel-toe,
heel-toe
heel-toe.
D
Now
we're
going
to
do
four
singles
right,
ill,
lap,
hill
right
heel,
left
field,
double
right!
Double
up
here
we
go
heel,
toe
right
heel,
toe
for
singles
right,
two,
three
double
right:
foot,
again:
heel
toe
double
right,
double
left
for
singles,
one,
two,
three,
four,
all
right,
one
more
part,
one
more
part:
I'm
going
to
make
a
circle.
I'm,
going
to
turn
to
my
left.
My
left
foots
going
to
be
the
pivot.
My
right
foot
them
on
top
around
eight
times.
D
Just
watch
me
alone
and
go
one
two,
two
three,
four,
five,
six,
seven,
eight
I
caught
it
with
me
here
we
go
one-quarter
turn
to
half-turn.
33
quarter,
turn
in
back
to
the
front
now
going
to
do
the
same
thing
only
going
to
opposite
way.
So
now
the
right
foot
becomes
a
pivot
one
and
quarter
turn
two
and
half
turn
three
good
quarter
and
back
to
the
front.
D
Now
you
can
be
here
in
this
today:
yeah,
okay,
so
now
we
taught
them
the
dance
right
and
I
call
the
stance
you
can
do
you
can
do
it
right.
You
can
do
it
all
right
now
we're
going
to
see
if
we
can
do
the
same
thing
that
we
just
walked
it
with
the
music.
Now
this
is
a
one
wall,
dance
which
means
that
you
folks
get
to
see
me
the
whole
time.
E
E
E
D
D
Whenever
we
do
a
class
week
when
we
all
say
there's
three
things:
we
want
to
happen
number
one.
If
you
got
up
and
danced
you
know
that
you're
moving
it's
a
little
bit
of
exercise,
so
you
move
in
you're.
Getting
some
exercise
number
two
is
to
learn
something
new,
because
this
exercise
for
the
as
well
as
the
body
you
got
think
about
where
the
heck
are
my
supposed
to
turn
next
now
right,
but
the
most
important
thing
is:
we
just
want
people
to
enjoy
themselves.
We
want
you
to
have
fine
right.
D
D
So
we
try
to
make
fitness
fun
and
the
idea
is
not
to
have
a
special
diet
not
to
have
a
special
exercise
routine,
but
develop
a
healthy
lifestyle
that
just
means
eat
more
of
what
you
know
it's
good
for
you,
less
of
which
is
bad
for
you
and
just
move
more
right
so
anyway,
I.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
share
this
time.
