16. Thanks, CAPeggy!

Last night, I went with a friend to watch his son's high school basketball team play. During the "half-time," a gentleman approached me, to again thank me for having brought his daughter (as part of a group of high school students) to the meeting with Robert at Pace University's Environmental Law Clinic. His daughter is a university student now, and she had called her Dad after Governor Cuomo's announcement, to say, "We won!"

I love hearing things like that. It got me thinking back to the last time he approached me, shortly after the Pace meeting. He thanked me for inviting his daughter; I told him she had actually contacted me, to ask if there was any way she could go with us? Her father said, "Oh, God, I'm sorry. I wish she hadn't done that." I told him that I was so happy that she had asked. That meant it was essential that she be there that day. I told him that he had done a mighty good job raising his daughter, and his pride shone through.
