 MATT MAHAN for MAYOR, SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA

from a volunteer thank you dinner @ brittania arms in san jose, aug 21st, 2022

and the visit with mahan, his staff, many of our new friends, gained as a result of the NotOnNoble protest              -well, the visits were as wonderful as the fish n' chips were delicious

so "thank you!" from us

and..  worth mentioning:   the young man, bellermine alumni,   -who volunteered to give up his seat, offering it to a woman who was standing and eating nearby.    -how, i know he didn't do it for the recognition or praise; he did it because it was the write thing to do; but i had to praise and recognize him anyway    -we need more like you..

oh, how i would love to see a notable increase in manners & respect when it comes to young people.  what hope it gives us all when we do witness it.    "thank you!"

and it connects to the mahan autobiography  -how he shared at the perc pond picnic, he was unable to attend bellerman because of the expense  -but a deal was presented, and he committed to  work/landscaping on the campus, and his tuition was covered as a result.  -he was commuting from watsonville (strawberry capital) (by bus?) arriving early to work before classes started..

these are 'content of character' qualities/experiences.

and fun to learn my personal memory techniques are also helpful to a young woman on mahan's staff, who is relatively new to the city of san jose

        ok, so hostteter   -host/cost, it rhymes..  so i go,  hostetter to Cost -co...     and the great mall..   how you LAND at the great mall..   landess...     

and it's been five years now..  still learning.

hallelujah & amen.
