B

This is to present bill Bishop with the recognition award from San Bruno, so I'd like to start off and say good evening to chairperson marshal commissioners good evening to you. It's my pleasure to be for you this evening to present this year's recipient of community recognition of work bill, Bishop built bishops been a resident of san bruno, since nineteen fifty-nine and his commitment to the youth of san bruno has been quite significant.

B

He and his wife Nellie have spent countless hours working with our youth people to make their lives more enriched through youth sports. His legacy will forever be intact for his contributions to girls softball program. However, he also contributed to the city. Many other ways bill.

A

B

His coaching career as a baseball coach for the Samburu midgets in 1980 and 81.

B

He helped to institute the girls softball program, starting in nineteen eighty-two when Bill helped to lay down the framework for a very successful salt softball program. There were only nine teams and now there's approximately 27.

B

He managed and or coached a softball team from 1982 until 2011. During that time, bill took a team to the softball Nationals seven times since he began coaching in 1982. It is estimated that over 400 young girls have gone directly played for Bill and approximately 8,000 ladies, that play.

B

He has served as a girl's softball representative for the city users field group, since it was incentive night in 2001.

B

Bill was instrumental in helping to convert far side north diamond. He served for eight years as the athletic director at Parkside Jimmy high school.

B

Not to mention all the time that him, his wife Nellie, had put into fundraising at the fireworks booth, snack shack at Parkside hundreds of hours.

B

More importantly, love the bill and his wife Nellie showed for all those kids will be forever and ever he's still in. There hurts I.

B

Would like to think that bill of Nellie would still be involved with softball if it wasn't for the fire that his neighbor's endeared.

B

Villas truly truly has been an inspiration to many people, but an inspiration to me. His acceptance of this award is fitting to an end of an official or unofficial retirement and girls softball like to say thank you. Thank you.

A

Bill before you get started, we have one more.

C

And Parker recommission to actually present you with your awards tonight there are two parts to it.

So congratulations.

D

I'm gonna make this real, simple I'm, not going to give a big speech, but I do want to thank all of you, for this is very, very kind.

D

The one thing I will say that had the big advantage over most guys who coached a lot of years, is that I always had my wife beside me, she's always there with me all the time and I do appreciate that, and the girls are showed up here and the other coaches. Thank you I appreciate that very much.

D

You know. Researchers have said that one of the hardest things to do is public speaking or they were right, so I'm going to keep it simple and just thank you again. Thank you very much, especially all these young. Ladies here thank.
