The time has come the Walrus said to talk of other things. Of shoes and ships and sealing wax. Of Cabbages and Kings.

Ghandi, King, and Lennon. All 3 men are my heroes and some of the most important men of the 20th Century. And they all believed in the ultimate power of Peace and Love. Peace and Love are the two most powerful forces in the Universe. If you believe in them with all your heart and soul you can do anything in the world. ANYTHING. They are not just some stoner hippie concept. And some look at Peace and Love as weakness. But they are the sword and shield God uses to conquer evil. And they are the only two things of any value you can take with you when you leave this mortal coil.

The very essence of The Pittsburgh Foundation strenghtens and promotes the concept and power of Peace and Love. And each of you at The Pittsburgh Foundation plays a very important part in making this happen. Each and every one of you should be proud that you commit to making Pittsburgh and the surrounding area a better place to live and grow.

I was so deeply touched to know my friends at The Pittsburgh Foundation wanted to know how my family and I are doing. We are OK. You have gladdened my soul and put a smile on my heart.

My wish for “yinz” all comes from Bob Dylan\’s Forever Young.

“May your hands always be busy”
“May your feet always be swift”
“May you have a strong Foundation”
“When the winds of changes shift”
May your heart always be joyful”
“May your song always be sung”
“And may you stay Forever Young”

Peace and Love, Brothers and Sisters of The Pittsburgh Foundation, Peace and Love
