dear An[h]elica:
great stuff. the "Spirit of Mark" = to always include the voice of the less fortunate in setting the pace for a brighter future for all citizens (how about residents?) of his beloved city.
how about taking it one step further, not just "to always include", but...
"to honestly, and with Mark's integrity, always REQUIRE the voices of those less fortunate as we together create a brighter future for all residents of Mark's beloved city."
peace, philip
