00:00:21.539 --> 00:00:23.539
Yeah. You know, one way to look at Gary and Jeannie, Herberger I think is

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:30.087
if you look at the history of their
engagement in the community and their

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:35.497
philanthropy, which is very unusual.
Uh their philanthropy and their

00:00:35.530 --> 00:00:43.530
engagement is all built around what I
call intellectual fabric.

00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:53.906
Mhm

00:00:53.939 --> 00:00:58.497
Jeannie and Gary take great joy in
working in the community. You can tell

00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:02.737
it's deeply satisfying to them and
gives them huge satisfaction to be a

00:01:02.770 --> 00:01:08.307
part of this community.

00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:16.340
Yeah. Mhm. Mhm, mm hmm.

00:01:16.340 --> 00:01:19.887
Education is very important to Jeannie
and Gary and I'm actually also very

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:23.186
involved in education, a lot of fun to
work with them on the Herberger

00:01:23.219 --> 00:01:27.947
Academy for gifted students. Gary has
been a regular visitor there and

00:01:27.980 --> 00:01:30.536
really excited about what's going on.
And I know Jeannie cares

00:01:30.569 --> 00:01:33.906
passionately about it as well

00:01:33.939 --> 00:01:38.816
in talking to Gary and Jeannie about
what their vision was for this

00:01:38.849 --> 00:01:43.436
academy, it was important that we
provided an opportunity for kids to be

00:01:43.469 --> 00:01:48.126
able to take risks and to try
something new and different. And if it

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.447
doesn't work out then, you know, we
try something else, but it's a safe

00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.507
environment for them.

00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:58.447
If you're looking at the symphony, if
you're looking at other areas of the

00:01:58.480 --> 00:02:02.477
arts and other areas of expression, if
you're looking at design schools

00:02:02.510 --> 00:02:05.257
and architecture schools, if you're
looking at the digital culture

00:02:05.290 --> 00:02:08.677
initiative that they've become
involved with. If you're looking at the new

00:02:08.710 --> 00:02:13.406
school for the profoundly gifted
Children, it's all about the same thing.

00:02:13.439 --> 00:02:18.177
It's about how can you take human
potential and move it to the highest

00:02:18.210 --> 00:02:26.210
level of creativity. Thank you mary
and Jeannie. Mhm.

00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:33.240
Yeah. Yeah.
