“I had a total change of heart over the last year or so seeing the changes that Chevron was willing to make, cutting down the number of homes they had planned.  From what I’ve seen so far, it is a pretty good balance of houses and open area, and I think it will benefit everybody.”
John Monaco

“I can’t wait.  I want to go hiking right now!”
