Well, you know, I really got connected to the museum because
I live a block.
I've lived a block and a half away from the museum.
So I knew Uncle Louie and Miss Lucille as a child.
Well, see, I think the arts really transcends everything
that goes.
It's a cultural link for because of the diversity, but it also
opens up the world to sometimes what would necessarily be a very
close community, you know, because of the museum.
When I was younger and talking to Miss Lucille and Uncle Louie,
I, you know, while my parents didn't were global travelers, I
became a global traveler.
I got the opportunity to go to school in France for a semester,
you know, for a short semester to honed in my skills in terms
of finance.
I don't think I would have done all of that if I didn't have the
the Civic Center and the, and the impetus from Uncle Louie and
Miss Lucille, who all always encourage young people to strive
higher and to expand their goals a lot more.
And I think that Virginia's doing the same thing.
