This is an important asset to the community. I'm very excited by the prospect of having future development occur there that relates to the continuing need for community gardens and affordable housing in the city. I want to extend my best wishes to the high school graduating class. Our graduates are undoubtedly going to encounter new challenges as they proceed. Whether the graduates are going on to college or technical school or entering the job market immediately, they will be learning something new almost every day.
Life is an on-going learning process.
The goal of formal education to date has been in large part to teach students how to learn and to appreciate the value and power of knowledge. I extend my heartiest congratulations to all the graduates of the class of 2001. The Reading Road Trip USA began at the Ashman branch on June 8. Registration continues through July.
