Sam Makes Some Calls...

samBy the time I got to City College of San Francisco, I had been on the road for almost two weeks. I had eaten Easter dinner at Taco Bell and was sure that I did not have enough socks and other things to last until the end of the trip.

Anyway, I digress. To the left is Sam. I met Sam upon opening the door to the VRC and realizing that, while in the right place for filming, I was in the wrong place for meeting my contact. Oh well!

I had just walked up a very steep grade carrying my gear bag and camera (although after two weeks on the road, the bag had been pared down to only the essentials) and realized I was lost. Sam took pity on me and started to make some calls to find Sunny Clark, Associate Dean of Student Health Services.

While waiting for Sunny, I told Sam what we were doing and he agreed to give me a tour of the VRC. I had to promise not to film him, just to get his voice, while I filmed the room. By the end of the shoot, he agreed to go on camera. Actually, by this time the camera was pointing right at him and he really had little choice. It really wasn't my fault, he just did not move out of the way fast enough. Regardless, he gave a great tour and I greatly appreciated the help. Thanks, Sam!Camera Icon 2

The following clips are of City College of San Francisco students and faculty talking about the Veterans Resource Center and the important role it plays in serving as a focal point and service portal for the student Veterans on campus.  I apologize to Sam (Army) about the music.
