That was their last chance to go through our traditional process for getting reservations for this calendar year.

John and the North Fork team gave us a chance. And Herman was a great teacher and partner. He always told me that if I didn't take the firm further than he did, he would consider it failure. I think he'd be proud.

I have one life and one chance to make it count for something . . . I'm free to choose what that something is, and the something I've chosen is my faith. Now, my faith goes beyond theology and religion and requires considerable work and effort. My faith demands -- this is not optional -- my faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.

It would make me feel that creative art has a chance in this crazy world that we all live in.

A second chance can never lead to the same point as first.

Lindsay only has a chance because of her and John.
