I think the people of Queens really have a friend in the office of Borough President. It certainly is something she wants to do and it makes her happy. I don't see her slowing down anytime soon. |
She, I think, always kind of exemplified leadership. She was extremely active in high school and asserted herself in many ways. She participated very heavily in high school activities, and I think part of her impetus for becoming a leader is that she was always the big sister for me and always in charge of me and was very comfortable in that role. I think that plays a role in who she is today. |
We do a lot of the same things, which is amazing to us because we don't trade notes. She's more into it than me. Helen has fought the good fight in New York and I give her full credit for having that stamina. She's a mighty warrior. |
