0:00 I had my music next year let it first be
0:22 50 years old honored by Andres and we
0:35 congratulate you on 90 years of
0:37 excellent history but I’m really
0:40 wondering how we’re going to get from 50
0:43 tonight but for me this night is really
0:48 about human connections a few years ago
0:52 I was talking to my friend and he
1:00 realized that together the wonderful
1:03 opportunity to make a connection between
1:05 love at first and animus and for the
1:08 past three years we’ve been leaving a
1:11 skeleton crew back at our office in
1:14 Tarrytown and those of you that were on
1:16 the skeleton crew raise your hand
1:18 thank you for a hanging back our
1:26 insurance clothing put on jeans and
1:30 t-shirts and headed over to Andres or a
1:33 workday that consisted of real work on
1:39 various projects in Andres and with the
1:43 systems of special Andrus people like
1:45 Fiona Stefan
1:48 Juliana Brianne Eric and Hector through
1:53 some hard work of bee sting or to a lot
2:04 of laughs our connections with Andres
2:06 have grown over each of our three years
2:10 there as we worked on site and beside
2:14 the students we’ve seen the wonderful
2:16 staff of an vez extends a hand to
2:18 connect to the young people that in many
2:21 cases have no other person in the world
2:25 with which to connect and I’ve seen
2:28 children look at their Andres teachers
2:31 and counselors as you and I looked at
2:35 our own parents when we were young and
2:38 that connection is strong and it lends
2:42 perspective
2:43 Andres makes an invaluable and an
2:47 indelible mark on each child that passes
2:50 through its gates sits in its inspiring
2:53 classrooms walks its beautiful gardens
2:56 and fields in calls Andres home for a
2:59 time on behalf of my wife Andrea my
3:03 sister-in-law of every level my partner
