A
A
That's
my
theme,
song
I
have
a
new
pilot
coming
out
tonight.
Thank
you
for
coming
to
Cupertino
zan
Yule,
crest
Awards
as
I
think.
Most
of
you
know,
crest
stands
for
Cupertino
recognizing
extra
steps
taken
so
tonight
we
have
a
lot
of
really
deserving
people.
This
is
one
of
my
very
favorite
events
of
the
year
that
the
city,
sponsors
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
it
recognizes
what
I,
what
I
call
unsung
heroes.
A
So
you
don't
have
to
see
that
far
you'll
see
a
few
famous
names
on
there,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
are
people
just
don't
know
that
much
about,
but
they
do
a
lot
of
stuff
in
Cupertino.
They
are
the
people
that
keep
things
happening.
They
don't
want
praise
or
recognition,
but
they
get
it
anyway
through
this
program.
So
when,
when
this
program
was
first
started,
Donna
Cray
was
trying
to
think
of
a
catchy
name
for
it.
I
said
well
the
unsung
hero
award
and
she
didn't
think
that
AHA
was
a
good
acronym.
So.
A
A
There's
also
the
permanent
plaque,
and
after
this
year,
we'll
start
the
second
crest
Awards
plaque.
This
is
the
law.
This
is
the
last
year
for
this
one
it'll
be
mounted
in
the
lobby
of
the
Quinlan
Center,
there's
also
proclamations
included
in
the
handouts
this
evening
from
congresswoman
and
Su,
from
Assemblyman
Jim
kaneen
and
from
our
state
senator
byron
share.
So
we
really
appreciate
their
recognition
of
these
folks
as
well.
I
want
to
recognize
a
couple
of
people,
though,
that
had
a
big
role
in
tonight's
activities.
A
Linda
lager
grin
who's
sitting
right
over
there
wave
your
hand
Linda
and
back
in
the
secret
room.
Controlling
everything
we
do
are
the
the
crack
crew
from
our
city,
channel
Kellen,
Yamada,
Piet
colonies
and
Ray
Delgado.
Let's
give
them
a
round
of
applause
and
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
the
camera
people
from
our
public
access
station.
That's
the
home
is
over
at
De
Anza
College.
Thank
you
folks
for
helping
out
tonight.
B
Good
evening,
everyone
just
following
what
city
manager
said,
this
is
also
indeed
a
very
special
evening,
also
for
the
City
Council
I
think
this
is
one
of
the
events,
one
of
the
most
worthwhile
and
enjoyable
events
in
our
work
and
City
Council,
and
it's
such
an
important
event,
because
we
get
to
recognize
people
that
have
been
very
special
to
us
in
our
communities.
These
unsung
heroes,
as
you
might
call
them
people
who
take
extra
steps,
important
people
that
we
really
want
to
have
a
chance
so
that
they
become
some
heroes.
B
Now
that
people
should
know
about
it,
it's
true
you
want
to
let
people
know,
because
it
says
something
about
what
we
value
and
who
we
value
here
in
Cupertino
and
as
a
community.
It
says
that
we
value
folks
who
give
unselfishly
to
other
people
to
help
bring
worth
to
our
community
extra
service
to
our
community
and
these
folks.
Some
of
these
folks
have
been
doing
this
for
so
many
years,
20
years
or
more,
and
it's
just
amazing
just
to
look
at
the
kind
of
activities
that
they
have
been
involved
in.
C
D
Sharon
Blaine
has
built
a
respected
and
solid
reputation
for
standing
up
and
taking
positions
in
the
community
beginning
in
the
early
70s.
As
a
community
activist
Sharon
helped
pave
a
distinct
direction
and
identity
for
Cupertino.
She
used
her
considerable
energy
to
forge
policies
in
the
areas
of
affordable
housing,
open
space
and
historical
preservation,
and
became
an
advocate
for
people
with
disabilities
as
her
interest
in
local
politics
grew
Sharon,
served
on
several
city
boards
and
committees
and
eventually
was
appointed
to
the
Cupertino
planning
commission.
D
C
That
I
have
respect
for
other
people's
positions
and
other
people's
views
and
I
never
put
this
on
a
personal
basis.
So
I
do
not
hold
grudges.
I,
don't
have
person
they're,
not
personal
things,
they're
issues
once
they
have
been
decided.
We
move
on
to
the
next
issue
and
try
to
make
the
best
of
whatever
has
been
decided.
Sometimes
things
work
out
well,
the
way
I
would
like
to
have
them,
and
sometimes
they
don't,
but
so
we
go
on.
C
Feel
that
a
community
is
more
than
homes
and
businesses,
there's
a
lot
more.
That
goes
into
making
the
culture
of
a
community
that
we
have
to
appreciate
what
has
come
before
and
that's
why
I'm
interested
in
the
historical
aspects
of
Cupertino,
it's
important
to
know
where
we've
come
from
and
it's
important
to
help
us
see
where
we
want
to
go
this.
D
C
Neighbors
had
all
been
very
concerned
because
I
had
been
other
earthquakes
around
in
other
parts
of
the
well
in
the
other
parts
of
the
country
in
Los
Angeles
in
particular,
and
then,
when
the
Kobe
earthquake
happened,
we
were
already
talking
about
it,
and
so
everybody
really
was
interested
in
doing
something.
So
I
had
a
very
positive
reaction
from
the
neighbors
and
I'd,
say
and
75%
of
the
neighborhood
is
actively
involved.
When
we
do
our
drills
and
have
new
things.
D
C
B
I
I
met
Sharon
when
she
was
organizing
this
banquet
for
the
Cupertino
Historical
Society
last
year
with
that
that
was
the
banquet
for
the
exhibition
on
Chinese,
American
history
and
locally
and
I
was
going.
Who
is
this
woman?
She
is
so
energetic
and
so
I
am
gonna,
take
the
opportunity
and
mention
a
few
other
things
about
Sharon,
and
some
of
these
are
little
things
that
you
may
or
may
not
know.
These
are
friends
here.
Sharon's
met
her
her
husband,
dick
when
she
was
only.
This
is
important.
Eight
years
old.
B
Persistence
and
in
their
teams
they
met
again
through
mutual
friends
and
have
been
together
ever
since.
Okay,
I
I
met
my
wife
in
junior
high
school,
but
now
I've
actually
met
my
match
here
and
sharing
in
my
hats,
off
to
both
you
and
dick
and
dick.
Also
it
runs
in
the
family.
Apparently
not
only
is
sharing
a
an
outstanding
volunteer,
but
dick
is
also,
and
he
had
already
been
awarded
the
crest
award
before
so
it's
folks,
like
you
and
and
dick
in
our
community.
B
C

G

For
the
past
41
years,
the
Cupertino
Fremont
Council
of
PTAs
has
been
brimming
with
some
of
the
brightest
most
committed
parents
and
educators.
This
progressive
organization
serves
the
population
of
children
enrolled
in
both
the
Cupertino
Union
School
District
and
the
Fremont
Union
High
School
District.
The
jurisdiction
covers
all
of
Cupertino,
as
well
as
parts
of
Saratoga
Santa
Clara
San,
Jose,
Sunnyvale
and
Los
Altos
PTA
council
president
Sheryl
carp.
How.
H
Does
the
PTA
is
to
be
an
advocate
for
all
children?
We
have
over
10,000
members
in
our
Cupertino
council,
through
my
council
last
year,
I'm
so
proud
to
say,
donated
over
close
to
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
volunteer
hours
to
the
community,
and
this
is
not
only
to
the
schools,
but
it's
also
to
the
community.
G
The
past
PTA
has
been
responsible
for
many
worthwhile
causes
and,
unlike
many
organizations
that
have
remained
static
for
several
decades,
this
one
knows
how
to
change
with
the
times
the
group
is
committed
to
being
there
for
parents.
This
is
true.
Even
when
parents
are
students
themselves
with
teen
pregnancies
a
reality
in
our
high
schools.
The
PTA
provides
generous
support
to
an
innovative
program
for
teenage
parents
based
at
Cupertino,
High,
School
and.
H
Believe
it
or
not,
this
was
an
old
automotive
shop
and
just
through
volunteers
and
community
donations,
they've
turned
it
into
a
program
where
teen,
moms
and
dads
can
come
and
get
childcare
for
their
kids.
While
they
go
to
school,
so
they
can
continue
their
education
for
PTA
parent
education
is
always
very
important.
So
we
just
feel
this
is
such
a
worthwhile
place.
So
we've
donated
money
for
some
of
this
playground,
equipment
and
again
we're
offering
our
help
as
mentors
and
educators
to
try
and
get
everything
on
the
right
track.
H
G
H
G
H
Support
a
reflections
program
which
promotes
the
arts
and
music
in
schools
and
children
get
a
theme
and
they
either
do
works
of
art
or
photography
or
musical
compositions
and
go
through
our
level
of
judging
and
this
year
we
have
a
student
going
to
the
state.
In
fact,
they'll
be
at
the
state
convention
this
month
in
May
performing
their
musical
composition.
They
do
their
own
work,
they
write
their
own
music
and
sing
their
own
songs
and
perform
and
she's
going
on
to
the
national
also.
H
Members
of
my
council
we're
very
many
hats,
it's
very
rare
to
find
a
person
who
is
just
sitting
on
the
council
board.
They
are
usually
on
the
council.
In
some
capacity
we
have
vice
presidents
in
charge
of
education
in
charge
of
our
HSA
dinner
or
in
charge
of
student
welfare,
usually
they're
involved
at
the
unit
level.
Also
there,
our
president
of
an
elementary
school
or
they're
doing
some
job
on
an
elementary
school
board.
They're
also
involved
in
the
district
level,
which
is
the
next
level
up
from
the
council.
H
I,
don't
know
how
some
of
these
women
do
it.
They
just
juggle
their
schedules
and
just
have
to
give
so
much
credit
and
I.
Look
around
that
table
like
I,
said
at
that
meeting
the
other
night
and
I
am
totally
amazed
at
what
they
can't
accomplish
and
what
they
do
really
are.
Wonderful.
Just
don't
I
have
a
wonderful
board.
F
F
I
F
Very
pleased
to
give
this
award
because
most
of
you
know,
I
came
from
the
Cupertino
School
Board
I
was
on
that
board
for
years,
so
Cheryl
and
I
have
worked
together
for
a
very
long
time,
as
I
have
worked
with
most
of
the
PTA
people.
You
know
this
community
is
very
very
much
identified
with
our
quality
of
education.
We
have
an
internationally
recognized
school
district
and
we
have
a
nationally
recognized
Community,
College
District.
F
Also
education
is
very
important
part
of
what
makes
Cupertino
the
city
that
it
is
and
nothing
could
be
done
in
our
education
system
without
our
volunteer
forces.
So
PTA
is
critically
important
to
the
role
that
education
plays,
not
only
in
the
lives
of
children,
which
is
probably
one
of
the
most
meaningful
things
that
you
can
do
with
your
life,
but
in
the
lives
of
all
the
rest
of
us
that
live
in
this
community.
The
PTA
the
people
in
PTA
serve
on
budget
advisory
committees.
F
They
help
with
all
the
community
agencies
that
are
that
are
in
our
city
and
in
our
surrounding
committee
communities.
They
are
people
who
are
very,
very
knowledgeable
about
education,
extremely
challenging
sometimes
to
this
in
education
because
they
really
keep
after
us,
but
they
are
very
interested
in
working
together,
not
apart
or
against,
and
you
don't
know,
we
see
that
as
a
matter
of
fact
in
all
communities,
so
most
of
what
happens
in
education.
F
This
community
is
a
direct
combination
of
all
of
us
working
together
and,
in
particular,
all
of
the
thousands
of
people
in
PTA
that
work
on
bond
elections
such
as
the
one
that
just
passed,
Cheryl
and
I
work
together
in
measure
eight
years
ago
and
all
other
kinds
of
activities
that
you
see
within
a
community.
This
is
a
very
big
part
of
it
and
we
are
very
pleased
as
a
city
to
honor
the
PTA,
all
the
work
that
they
do
and
all
the
various
people
that
contribute
to
that.
D
There's
a
real
helpful
bunch
of
friendly
folks
at
the
Cupertino
Senior
Center
sporting
smiles
and
knowing
just
what
a
newcomer
needs
to
feel
at
home.
There
are
the
Senior
Center
desk
volunteers,
about
30
warm
and
welcoming
workers
who
can
update
a
spreadsheet,
handle
an
emergency
call
or
just
make
a
good
cup
of
joe
well.
E
Without
them
we
couldn't
operate
here,
the
ma'am
desk
rings
and
the
afternoons
they
give
excellent
customer
service
to
people
who
come
in
and
to
people
who
call
on
the
telephones.
We
have
people
signing
up
for
trips
and
classes.
We
have
people
asking
questions
about
services
for
seniors
and
they
are.
Those
volunteers
are
very
knowledgeable:
they're,
capable
they're,
good
listeners
and
doing.
J
D
J
J
Think
the
thing
that
I've
enjoyed
hearing
them
say
is
I'm
learning
things,
I
never
knew
I
would
learn
about,
and
we've
always
felt
that
if
it's
reciprocal
but
the
giving
and
the
getting
are
happening.
That's
how
we,
how
we
have
wonderful
volunteers,
so
no
one
feels
they
just
give
or
just
get,
and
when
people
discover
they
can
do
something,
they
never
thought
they
could
do,
whether
it's
a
computer
or
or
mastering
them
on
another
scale.
J
I
think
it
overflows
other
parts
of
their
life
and
they
find
that
if
they
can
do
it
here,
they
can
do
it
other
places
and
sometimes
when
people
are
set
back
and
sometimes
when
there's
a
death
in
the
family
or
a
loss
of
a
job
or
someone
stops
driving
kind
of
sets,
people
back
and
and
sometimes
we're
the
ground
for
people
getting
back
and
then
growing
beyond
where
they
thought
they
might,
and
so
sometimes
I
so
countered
the
depression.
Even
helping
other
people
bring
smiles
to
people's
lives.
D
On
a
normal
day,
the
well
operated
Senior
Center
appears
to
be
bursting
at
the
seams.
Hundreds
of
people
coming
in
and
out
the
phones
are
ringing
and
questions
and
answers
are
flying
back
and
forth,
but
the
desk
volunteers
maintain
cool
patient
demeanors,
even
something
as
daunting
as
the
major
expansion
project
plan
for
next
year
should
be
a
piece
of
cake
for
them.
F
The
desk
volunteers,
service,
300
people
and
many
of
these
people
have
serious
questions
or
concerns.
Some
of
them
are
there
because
it
may
be
the
only
friendly
face
or
where
they
get
all
of
their
socialization.
It's
very
important
that
the
people
that
greet
them
and
answer
their
questions
and
spend
time
with
them.
They
can
identify
with
now
I've
worked
with
volunteers,
a
lot
in
my
life
and,
if
they're
a
little
different
than
paid
employees.
F
Volunteers
can
walk
out
on
you
at
any
time,
so
you
have
to
ensure
that
you
have
the
kind
of
people
that
are
really
willing
to
stick
with
you
during
stressful
times,
as
well
as
good
times,
and
that
really
really
are
part
of
your
program.
If
you
haven't
been
over
to
the
Senior
Center
come
on
over
in
me,
these
wonderful
people,
our
seniors
in
this
community,
are
active,
they're,
vibrant
they're,
very
intelligent
they're.
G
L
Enjoy
working
for
CCS
like
I,
say
it's
really
been
a
godsend
to
me,
because
otherwise
I
would
never
be
out
of
the
house
and
I
think
if
I
haven't
started
with
CCS
I,
don't
drive
and
I.
Think
starting
with
CCS
has
kept
me
very
active
and
there's
kept
my
mind
shop.
So
CCS
has
been
good
for
me.
I
enjoy
working
for
CCS,
but
in
return
that
made
my
days
happy.

F
G
Vera
works
in
the
food
cupboard
two
mornings
a
week
and
also
serves
on
the
altar
gilt
at
st.
Jude's
Episcopal
Church
about
a
year
ago.
She
suffered
a
terrible
fall
while
at
home,
but
in
spite
of
the
continuing
pain
and
the
arthritis,
both
in
her
hands
and
knees,
she
remains
enthusiastic
and
dedicated.
L
When
they
come
in
first
thing
in
the
morning,
which
is
around
8,
o
clock,
I
checked
that
anything
that's
left
over
from
yesterday,
such
as
rose
and
then
I
start.
If
bread
comes
in
early
I,
do
the
shelves
that
I
packed
bread
in
plastic
bags
and
put
it
on
the
shelf
and
vegetables
produce
comes
in?
We
don't
have
too
much
this
morning.
Unfortunately,
and
then
I
went
through
and
all
the
shelves
are
done
by
10
o'clock.
Clients
come
in
and
then
I
usually
wait
on
clients
for
food.
G
L
K
Thanks
very
much
mrs.
Ketcham
was
born
in
England
near
Liverpool
and
lived
her
first
24
years
in
England
before
she
came
to
this
country.
So
you
may
he
had
a
little
trace
of
that
in
her
speech.
Still
after
all,
these
years,
she's
lived
in
her
home
right
across
from
the
Cupertino
Chamber
of
Commerce
for
39
years,
and
here
tonight,
I
with
her
her
granddaughter
Shannon
and
Shannon's
husband
Ron
come
to
celebrate
with
her
this
wonderful
occasion
and
she
gets
home.
She
made
her
poodle
at
the
door.
Oliver
I
think
it's
absolutely
wonderful.
L
M
Good
evening,
Cupertino
has
a
very
successful
foreign
policy
than
not.
Many
of
you
may
know
about,
but
in
large
part
is
due
that
the
very
great
work
of
both
Trish
and
Virgil
Kline,
who
for
the
last
many
years,
been
working
on
behalf
of
our
sister
city
committee
relationship
with
toyokawa
Japan
and
now
I'd
like
to
tell
you
a
little
about
the
Trish
and
Virgil.
I
D
9:30
on
a
Sunday
at
st.
Joseph's,
Church,
Trish
Klein
is
singing
in
the
choir,
just
as
she's
done.
Every
Sunday
for
the
past
12
years
and
by
her
side
is
husband.
Virgil
Cupertino
became
the
couple's
home
in
1973,
and
the
clients
immediately
made
the
city
their
home
base
for
volunteer
activities,
church
school
and
community.
D
Especially
to
the
Cupertino
toyokawa
sister
City
Committee,
and
his
annual
Cherry
Blossom
Festival,
this
spring
celebration,
honors
the
city
and
the
people
of
toyokawa
Japan,
and
this
year
drew
a
record
crowd
of
45,000.
The
Clyne's
and
a
handful
of
other
sister
city
committee
members
spend
the
entire
year
organizing
this
event.
As
treasurer
virgil
is
responsible
for
all
the
festivals
financial
transactions
and
for
obtaining
grants.
Trish
is
secretary
in
between
working
full-time
for
the
Cupertino
Union
School
District.
She
spends
hours
on
the
festival,
contacting
benefactors,
creating
the
program
and
supervising.
O
D
N
O
I
think
one
other
things
that
that
we
both
talked
about
is
that
our
first
impression
was
up
and
particularly
theophanies
men.
We
expected
that
they
were
very
stoic
and
totally
unemotional
and,
starting
with
the
very
first
time
that
we
posted
time
to
leave,
tears
running
down
their
cheeks
and
we
experiences
with
virtually.
M
But
since
when
you
moved
in
to
Cupertino
in
73,
you
had
a
history
of
working
with
people
before
and
that
comes
from
both
being
raised
in
large
families.
Trish
was
grew
up
in
Baltimore
as
part
of
the
family
of
five
and
Virgil
hails
from
Minnesota
on
a
farm
as
part
of
a
family
of
seven.
So
you
bring
a
diversity
of
experiences.
I
think
that
really
shows
off
very
well
as
you
mix
with
people
of
various
cultures
and
various
places
around
our
planet.
M
You
also
might
know
in
in
the
audience
tonight
that
they
began
working
with
a
sister
city
committee,
not
just
necessarily
because
I
thought.
This
is
a
great
organization,
but
also
because
their
son
Greg
was
studying
Japanese
at
the
time,
and
you
apparently
both
thought
to
be
a
good
way
for
him
to
kind
of
learn
and
speak
a
little
bit
more
of
the
language,
and
that
apparently
was
very
successful.
M
Greg
later
on,
went
to
Japan
and
and
was
a
teacher
of
English
and
stayed
there
for
a
number
of
years
and
and
again
I
think
promoted
both
our
community
and
the
international
friendship
and
understanding
in
a
very
positive
way.
Through
it.
All
this
you've
helped
our
celebration
of
a
local
international
friendship,
grow
and
prosper.
M
The
cherry
blossom
festival
had
drew
a
crowd
of
approximately
45,000
people
this
year,
which
was
outstanding,
and
just
six
people
on
the
sister
city
committee
really
make
that
entire
festival
happen,
which
shows
you
what
a
dedicated
group
of
six
people
can
really
turn
out.
It's
a
hard
working
group
that
sustained
this
20
year
old
program
and
really
tonight
our
thanks
go
to
that
group
and
to
our
two
ambassadors,
both
Trish
and
Virgil.
Thank
you
very
much.
P
Q
I
Q
G
Early
in
the
morning,
four
days
a
week,
this
feisty
80
year
old,
collects
food
from
grocery
stores
for
local
charitable
organizations,
many
of
which
are
in
cupertino.
He
has
done
this
for
more
than
a
decade
as
destiny
would
have
it.
Otto's
experiences
as
a
child
during
the
Great
Depression
gave
him
a
profound
sense
of
commitment
for
the
work
that
he
does
today.
Q
Q
G
R
Of
the
grocery
stores
that
donates
food
to
us
had
some
concerns
about
having
liability,
they
thought
well.
What
if
we
gave
something
and
and
one
of
our
clients,
felt
that
the
there
was
something
wrong
with
the
food
and
auto
being
as
sharp
as
he
is
knows
that
California
law
states
that
any
any
grocery
store
or
business
who
donates
to
a
nonprofit
for
food
donations
to
clients
is
not
held
liable
in
the
event
that
there
could
be
a
problem
with
the
food
and
so
auto
managed
to
get
a
copy
of
that
law.
R
Q
Q
Q
P
Reminds
me
so
much
of
Jack
LaLanne.
You
know
how
standing
his
nickname
that
we
gave
him
is
the
food
road
warrior
he's
on
a
mission.
He
does
outstanding
work,
he's
trying
to
help
the
needy
the
unfortunate
and
the
people.
That
really
would
appreciate
the
effort
and
he's
giving
it
this
all
started.
I
think
the
desire
to
help
in
the
food
related
area
when
Otto
and
his
cousin
they
didn't
buy
a
ticket.
The
the
phrase
stowed
away
on
a
train
from
Nebraska
to
California
I'm
trying
to
be
polite.
P
I
know
the
priest
is
in
the
audience
stowed
away
and
came
to
California
when
they
came
to
California.
They
arrived
at
a
Red,
Cross
Center
and
they
were
given
lodging
and
food
and
I
think.
In
that
case
it
was
the
first
meal.
They
had
a
good
meal
they
had
from
Nebraska
and
which
was
really
critically
important,
and
you
see
that
relationship
that
he
got
in
that
experience
carried
through
until
today.
The
only
problem
is,
he
only
eats
one
meal
a
day
right
now,
but
that
goes
for
12
hours
constantly.
P
As
you
can
see,
an
excellent
sense
of
humor,
very
intense
individual,
a
excellent
mixer
and
I
was
told,
don't
say
anything
about
political
views.
I
was
I
was
given
that
in
a
warning
writing
he
did
just
celebrate
their
60th
wedding
anniversary
and
on
October
17th
Otto
and
Jerry
Rice
will
share
a
similar
number.
The
number
80
congratulations
right.
I
am
right.
P
S
We
first
moved
to
here
we
were
coming
in
from
Utah.
My
children
were
in
elementary
school
I.
Looked
for
something
to
keep
me
busy,
you
know
and
to
follow
their
hours
and
time
off.
I
got
hooked
on
school,
nursing,
I
think
it's
a
great
deal
of
fun.
I
get
to
enjoy
well
children,
most
of
the
time
and
adults
and
staff
and
I
get
to
work
with
amazingly
marvelous
people
and
I'm,
not
around
sick
people.
S
D
That
winning
combination
of
experience,
knowledge
and
warmth
all
rolled
into
one
outstanding
talent,
Katie.
Why
is
one
of
only
four
full-time
equivalent
nurses
serving
15,000
students
in
the
Cupertino
Union
School
District,
a
dedicated
health
professional?
She
is
generous
in
sharing
her
time
and
her
knowledge,
believing
that
everyone
should
feel
comfortable
handling
medical
emergencies.
I
enjoy.
S
D
S
Also
want
them
to
deal
with
children
that
form
a
playground.
What
do
you
do
if
we
have
a
diabetic
who
has
a
low
blood
sugar
emergency
or
a
child
that
collapses
on
the
you
know,
after
running
laps
like
that
school?
For
whatever
reason
you
have
to
be
able
to
take
care
of
these
emergencies
and
feel
competent
and
my
teaching
first
aid
to
the
staff,
we
feel
that
they
gained
a
measure
of
confidence
to
render
first
aid
and
then
call
for
help,
which
is
what
you're
supposed
to
do.
D
S
Fact
we
just
did
one
in
March
for
20-25
people
at
the
Senior
Center
and
that's
a
Saturday
morning,
and
it's
it's
a
lot
of
fun
for
us.
I
think
I
learn
as
much
from
the
people
that
I'm
teaching
is
as
they
gain
from
me
again.
It's
the
understanding,
the
confirmation
that
what
you
know
is,
okay,
that
what
you
do
is
all
right.
It
doesn't
just
the
confirmation
that
you're
doing
you're
doing
first
aid.
The
right
way
is
really
great
to
see
Katie.
D
Works
long
hours
for
the
school
district,
putting
in
extra
time
coordinating
special
student
services
such
as
AIDS
education,
drug
prevention
and
child
abuse,
counseling
she
volunteers
tirelessly
for
professional
nursing
associations
and
takes
classes
herself
to
stay
on
top
of
the
ever-changing
field
of
medicine.
Perhaps
her
biggest
challenge
is
finding
enough
time
for
it
all
I
don't
know.
S
I
I
try
to
balance
it
as
best
I
can
sometimes
it's
more
work
and
sometimes
it's
more
play.
It
really
depends
the
time
when
we
take
time
off.
My
husband
and
I
enjoy
snow
skiing
and
we
do
that
with
our
children
and
that's
a
relief
from
what
we
do
around
us
and
I
like
to
read:
I
love
to
garden
and
that's
how
I
take
my
time.
P
The
tendencies
that
we
see
are
over
work
not
just
work,
not
the
eight
hours
a
day.
It's
over
work
just
keep
going
and
going
and
going
there's
never
enough
time.
In
the
day.
Your
your
definitions-
and
the
word
stressed
you
say,
don't
worry
about
stress
because
we
realize
it's
desert
spelled
backwards.
It's
different
slant.
The
one
thing
that
I
don't
understand
trying
to
do.
The
research
is
that
you're
in
charge
of
the
sex
education
classes
in
K
through
eight
I.
P
P
The
the
problems
that
the
city
has
had
in
relation
to
KD
are
trying
to
kind
of
mild
her
neighbor,
our
chairperson
for
the
Planning
Commission
Don
Austin,
and
you
both
had
twins.
So
the
city
was
very
concerned
that
might
be
a
contaminant
in
the
water
or
something
like
that,
but
all
of
a
sudden.
Why
would
this
one
group
twins?
P
We
have
eyes
on
you
in
the
1989
earthquake
instead
of
sitting
around
and
deep
despair,
our
first
recipient
of
this
this
evening,
Sharon
Blane
and
you
chaired
kind
of
a
party
kind
of
a
party
and
it's
the
priorities
were
setting
the
priorities
straight.
They
were
always
a
positive
attitude
trying
to
look
for
the
best
in
an
issue.
That's
kty!
P
You
had
an
emergency
one
time
and
this
is
really
going
to
be
stretching
it.
So
this
will
be
new
information
to
you.
You
broke
your
thumb.
Remember
when
you
broke
your
thumb.
You
didn't
have
use
of
your
hand,
and
you
had
asked
your
husband
to
take
over
some
of
the
duties
around
the
house
that
you
couldn't
perform
and
one
of
them
was
cooking.
So
he
sat
down.
He
started
cooking
dinner
and
he
came
up
with
a
lovely,
meatloaf
and
apple
pie
and
so
tactfully.
You
said
during
the
course
of
the
dinner.
P
B
O
R
E
H
C
Only
thing
that
I
would
like
to
do
is
to
encourage
the
citizens
of
Cupertino
to
become
involved,
in
whatever
way
they
can
to
bring
their
expertise
to
bring
their
desires
to
the
city
and
step
in
and
help
and
there's
a
lot
of
ways.
They
can
help
those
who
have
more
time
more
time.
It
I
think
about
to
urge
everyone
in
the
community
to.
