Sounds good - I'll call Steve. I have one other thing to talk to him about anyway. FYI, just came back from a nice lunch with Ryan of FTI. I like him - you are in good hands.

On September 11, at my suggestion, we will award two honors at the time we also dedicate completion of renovations on Roxboro House: The Joan Specter Award for Alumni Community Leadership which will honor our alum Doug Schwab and the Elsie H. Hillman Award for Student Public Service which will honor our student Emily Reynolds. Both Joan and Elsie<http://n.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsie_Hillman> will be in attendance.

However, a great sweep of accomplishment has occurred involving nearly every aspect of the entire project that I have now have the confidence to know that Philadelphia University could proudly incorporate the Arlen Specter Center Award for Public Leadership starting this September 11 and the only person that warrants consideration — on the pure merits, on his relationship to Arlen Specter, and, frankly, because I make this call — would be Vice President Biden.
