They included architects, city planners. social workers, and other related subjects. After an hour to an hour and a half, we ended standing on the green looking back at the building which forms a big U shape from two to three stories. 43 units. I mentioned something about where people worked and they asked me how many people I knew. I was a surprised they asked as they were that I knew everyone. Of the afternoon, that was the one thing that really amazed them. They looked around at all the windows and doors. One asked again, “All of them?” I said, "I know all of them, where they are from, and where they work. I know many of their parents because they come to visit. And their friends who visit.” They left sort of stunned. It was the last thing I would normally have thought to mention and it made the greatest impact.
