We are certainly proud to recognize Black History Month in our city.

I would certainly advocate for that. We'd be very disappointed if we didn't do that. We certainly realize Emmett Scott played a vital spot in the history of Tyler ... We certainly want to remember and commemorate Emmett Scott and what it meant to this community.

I would drive (by) there often and pray that no child would get in there and hurt themselves.

I'm really excited for the program to start because it allows history majors to go into a professional field other than education.

This is the first time we've made it to the finals, so we've already made history, but we want to try to keep it going.

I want you to begin keeping a calendar of who you see and when: the first day each year you see buttercups, the first day frogs start singing, the last day you see robins in the fall, the first day for grasshoppers. In short, I want you to pay attention.
