I had the pleasure of working with President Haas for seven years; he has been a great mentor for me. Early in his tenure, while at a community reception, I saw him stop to chat with a young girl, who was with her parents; she was probably four or five years old. He bent down (from his knees) so that he was face-to-face with her before he began speaking. At that moment, I knew he had a special gift for connecting! Congratulations, Mr. President! "The Power of 10," indeed!
