RH Jones' tribute to Dennis Leone

June 18, 2009
I'm a CORE charter member, Bob Jones.
Thank you, President Parshall, for giving me a chance to honor the honorable -- Dr. Dennis Leone -- who has been true to his great Italian heritage. His name, Leone, means "lion" in the Italian language. Leone has indeed been a Leone from the beginning of the STRS stakeholder's engagement in the stricter regulations, preventing a myriad of circumstances that cause reductions of our grandfathered retiree benefits. To the Leone of the corps of the Concerned Ohio Retired Educators, for the elderly educators who can't speak for themselves, I say: Mille graci, thank you, Leone.
