Polk walks through the streets and begins to think to himself about some recent occurrences. Great leaders with 365 day accounts.  He thinks to himself the changes that these great streets have went through since the Old Country.  He pulls his pocket watch from his suit pocket and takes a look.  He then thinks to himself and fights with his inner voice.  Do I have enough time for a little speech?  His inner turmoil finalizes his thoughts with an answer...Yes!

Hello Great Leaders, Gangsters, and Civilians of these fine streets.  Over the past few weeks we have seen major accomplishments.  Ones that many wish to accomplish within their struggles of life as a gangster.  The struggle to reach forward and into the elder years becoming 365 days old.  In the Old Country this was an unheard of happening.  However, within our community we have seen great leaders and gangsters achieve this momentous feat.  So please folks...when you see these individuals feel free to give your congrats.  These folks really have indeed what it takes to survive. CONGRATS to all who have surpassed or are coming up on their 1 year Birthday.  It is truly something to be proud of and all should be proud to have seen those accomplish such an accomplishment.

Polk bows his head and exits the podium.  He shakes his head and thinks.  Wow, what an accomplishment.
