It is a pleasure to be here this evening once again to support a great college that is providing light to this world in darkness. To me, this is a very special room we’re in tonight. Back in 1980, when I first ran for the Los Angeles Board of Supervisors against an entrenched incumbent, two special people kicked off my campaign in this room: Ronald Reagan and Jonathan Winters. Tom Sullivan, the first Chairman of Thomas Aquinas College’s Board, was there that evening, as were some others. What was impressive was that Ronald Regan stood up here and took questions from the audience—we had about 500 people—and he talked about foreign affairs, domestic affairs, international relations. It was all very complex. Yet, the Los Angeles Times failed to report it the next day. Nevertheless, Ronald Reagan gave us a great legacy, and Thomas Aquinas College is also giving us a great legacy and great opportunities for our young people, so many of whom have been denied the opportunity of receiving a quality education. On behalf of the County of Los Angeles, I present this proclamation. Thank you for 35 good years of bringing the Good News of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to the world and to the next generation. -- 35th Anniversary 2007 |
