A
Will
greatly
benefit
educational
programs
and
help
us
face
the
many
challenges
in
our
aging
schools,
but
the
story
council
president
that
touches
my
heart.
The
most
is
that
amy
gutmann
when
she
would
speak,
had
a
riddle.
She
would
ask
the
audience
and
she
would
say,
what's
the
difference
between
a
scrap
metal
dealer
and
an
ivy
league
university
president
and
her
answer
was
one
generation,
and
that
was
because
amy
gottman's
father
escaped
nazi
germany
in
the
1940s
came
to
the
united
states.
A
She
was
born
in
1949
and
now
she
became
the
president
of
penn
and
now
she's
serving
as
our
ambassador
to
germany,
and
we
know
that
she'll
make
the
love
of
you
proud.
What
an
amazing
story
have
your
father
escape
concentration
camps
in
germany
and
then
she
becomes
the
ambassador
to
germany,
united
states.
I
want
to
congratulate
dr
governor
and
thank
you
council
president.
