A true internal reward that this country has given has to have served on a jury.

It MUST be Sandra Day…a human institution? The women there should be wearing the pants. Let those old men wear the robes.

I’ll guess Sandra Day O’Connor – and it was the kind of nightmare we all have had thinking we had not studied for the final exam but were in the room and having to take it. Having to interview a Supreme has to be a daunting challenge. BTW – you did it quite well, as usual!

Without watching the segment you posted, but having seen the interview last night, I am going to guess shaking your hand and, more broadly, touching you.

One cannot put into words even a moment on the phone means to both your souls.

Yikes ! Many months ago. My first comment to you was about your glasses. This has come back to haunt me. At least your singing at the Sox game has won me over.

Let’s hope your economic views don’t match. The gold standard? Seriously?

Comment on Getting the Kids There and Back. Alive. by Jack ODonnell

I’m interested in 2 issues that are part of the picture of “safe passage”

First I’ve heard that gangs in Chicago have factionalized greatly. Its no longer just a safety issue of children walking from one neighborhood to the next. Factions of gangs now control a block(s) and crossing from block to block can be an issue. There now seems a greater perimeter of threat to kids traveling for any reason.

Secondly I think the patrols for Safe Passage that i’ve observed for high school children will not necessarily directly work with grammar school children. Commonly high schools seem located near major streets and HS students often arrive to school from local CTA bus stops.
Patrols for Safe Passage simply need to protect passage from buses to schools.

K-8 schools commonly are within neighborhoods and K-8 children travel side streets to reach school. Its seems that patroling numerous routes over a distance of many blocks will be a greater challenge than presented by HS Safe Passage

Thanks for doing this program.
