‘The inspiring thing is that through WHALE’’s work they’re not just restoring structures of all kinds but restoring spirit to the city, as well. Supporting WHALE is my way of connecting to my growing up years in and around the city and to the legacy of my parents and grandparents and to the visionary, Sarah Delano.”
