Rich has offered wise leadership for Grand Center—implementing lyrics from his favorite song:
Here in the light a lazy mist is lifting
And the sands of time are slowly shifting
Into the glass, with the hours that pass.
Be the light, or love will fade away...
Take a moment, and listen to our friend across the street...
