丹尼斯,
谢谢你！ for all your work and caring for the Chesapeake and its Washington area tributaries. So often when people think of the Chesapeake they do not even think of the urban areas that are part of it and its watershed…and therefore those champions in the city are not always included. Yet access to land and clean water is of deep and abiding importance right there at home. You are an exemplar, though it is my bet you never think of yourself that way!
- John Reynolds，十大赌博正规老平台协会董事会

丹尼斯，你每天都经历着这样的生活，
每个人都必须在某个时候做出决定，
他们是否会走在创意之光中
利他主义还是在黑暗中毁灭
自私. 这是判决.
