Cruz Quotations

We made progress today before being hit with the third storm, which knocked power out to more customers. It's been a huge impact.

He's going to be involved with more in 2007. We haven't outlined how we're going to do that. But we want the smoothest transition possible. I'm sure the transition is more important than the title. He's a great pick for what we're doing. He believes in the community and Santa Cruz itself. We want to make it the best two years in Cabrillo College history.

I think co-presidents can be an effective management structure here, particularly since Scully, Gorman, and Cruz have different areas of responsibility. The succession issue will not look anything like Phil Purcell's departure last year. Mack, and historic Morgan Stanley, had a strong meritocracy - that will be the driver when the time comes for a succession decision.

I think the strikers did a good job. Cruz scored and Adriano had two good chances.

This vision is based on the understanding that quality preschool programs are the foundation for success in school and, therefore, in life.

Santa Cruz has three more power points than us (which is equivalent to a victory), so I expect that we can compete with them. My scouting report is that they are a relatively smaller sized, ball control/finesse team so we should match up OK.

Santa Cruz was not so friendly, but Watsonville was.

The White House wants California to march in lockstep with its misguided prohibition of medical marijuana, but the Constitution says otherwise.

I love this boardwalk, even if it is one of the 'board-less' varieties. Actually, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk refers to both the seaside amusement park and the concrete path that runs through it.

Coastal nirvana.

It's redwood forest in the Santa Cruz Mountains saving this land has been our charter for over 100 years.

I don't know if we're consciously trying to do that but we talk about valuing the basketball and the possessions are longer.

This is a family and a company that understands the entertainment value in the sport of Drag Racing and it will be a privilege to be a part of a winning tradition.

I basically had 24 hours to decide. That's not a lot of time to figure out where you're spending your summer.
