| Collapse all
Longtime resident and activist in San Francisco.
- New strategy with new first to restore world-class status.
- Lifting up from the bottom up.
- A new appreciation for our tourist industry.
Homeless, disabled and tourism.
I believe the local levels of government are where you best can understand the problems we face.
God. I also had a great father.
The book title: "What is wrong with being Black"?
Empathy, sympathy and action that inspires.
I have style and class. Style is how you treat yourself and class is how you others.
A willingness to work with the mayor to move the city forward.
I want people to be talking about my work in San Francisco 100 years from now.
John F. Kennedy assassination in 1963. It was years later that I understood that is why my teacher was crying on that day.
Draftsman less than a day as a high school graduate. I held that first job for two years. But the great part was the fact my high school drafting trade teacher said a week before graduation, "Allen, you will never get a drafting job." I deserved the comment and he deserved to be proven wrong.
Holy Bible. I believe the Bible is the owners manual for the body. However, after reading this great book, cover to cover, I only believe today, 3% of the Bible should be applied to daily life.
I don't deal in fiction.
Jesus is Love, by the Commodores.
When people look at me with pity because I have never been able to walk.
The opportunity to introduce new ideas that could ignite change in more places.
No. But I do believe it can be a plus.
My favorite joke is one I wrote and placed on the inside flap of my autobiography. The joke: I will come out of the closet when I am finished having sex in the closet.
To gain trust is a must. And you can't accomplish that with excuses and deflection.
