Terri Johnson Quotations

When we got there, it obviously was in the beginning stages of the fire. It was coming from the middle of the church. Then the fire began to rage. Then it engulfed the whole church.

When we first started, we booked a tour first. So, the pressure was on to deliver. The heavens just opened.

With the pace of things, sometimes those things don't get the full hearing they deserve. We didn't get the chance to offer up public comment because there were no public hearings on it. So now we've got to make certain we have a clear understanding of what the Legislature meant so the affected businesses know where they stand. We want to establish a comfort level rather than creating more confusion.

We always go in hoping we have several contributors. I think that was a product of bad shooting (against Sammamish).

My impression is there haven't been many complaints filed either in employment or public accommodations, but that isn't a very old law. Maybe a lot of persons aren't aware that sexual orientation is afforded protected standing.

But the technology that's available today is so much greater. (Tanner) could have easily missed something.

(Franklin) may be a little ahead of us as a team now. Hopefully, we're moving in the right direction.

I expected no jail time, so I was somewhat surprised that there was 100 days given to him. I think that's a just sentence. I think it's probably a little excessive, given his background. ... I think that he could do more good doing some community service to our young people just learning how to drive.

Today, kids think that information is too much for them. We're telling the story that for a black person to make money, they have to be doing something illegal.

We support kids whether they go to public schools, private schools or if they are home-schooled. It's not limited. The more extraordinary the experience the better. It's our way of encouraging students to strive for excellence.

To cross the finish line was a great accomplishment even though I didn't finish the whole thing. It is so hard to describe. You have to be there.

He's a big reason why we're having the success we are as a program.

He just wouldn't study. Then he'd get these failing grades, and that would further hurt his self-esteem.

I was interested in these two performers who felt they could do something quite symbiotic,

Kirby is playing really well for us. We expected him to play at this level, he just got a late start with football. That three at the end of the third quarter was huge.

I think Blake made some big plays defensively down the stretch. Overall, we didn't defend as we would like.

Our very first grant was a seventh-grader who wanted to go to cartooning school. Another girl went to sing with the Sussex County Chorus in Europe.

Susan took me shopping for a bike and helmet. We also rode together sometimes during training.

Steve lives in the gym. He's worked for everything he has. He can shoot the ball, but he's done that through his hard work.

Steve is usually successful against bigger players, because of his quickness, but he didn't shoot that well. He's got a big green light for us. But he's willing to do whatever it takes for us to be successful. He'll get others the ball.

That would be the three of us. The Creative Three: myself, my sister and Jesse Kuhn, the designer.

We're definitely better than we were to start the season. But we have a long way to go.

We didn't do a good enough job getting the ball into his hands. But I think you have to give Juanita credit for its defense.

We considered putting him in Fort Myers (while the school was there), but that seemed like a lot of trouble to me. We decided to bring him in as soon as they were ready to open here.

We put the cats into a fish tank.

To think that it could have been done on purpose, with no intent to make good on it.

Unbelievable ... To find out that he's in business, and that he's not even making an attempt.

Follow every rule you were taught, even if they don't make sense, and it all works out in the end.

Issaquah has a different style and they play extremely hard. If we don't prepare ourselves, they will take advantage.

Any person feeling they've been discriminated against would have that additional period of time in which to gather their facts to substantiate their claim of discrimination.

Although history textbooks contain facts and information and historical fiction provides entertainment, well-told biographies bridge the gap for children by combining historical accuracy along with engaging stories. It is time to bridge that gap for the middle grade student.

They do not have control over how they react to the gas.

It's one-stop shopping for local information. It's bringing information at the neighborhood level.

It's overwhelming to see kids excited. It's a dream come true.

It's silly. If someone was going to build a bike into a pipe bomb, they wouldn't label it.

It's stuck on us. It's tattooed on our souls.

They want to be near their people. Corporations with national and regional offices in West County aren't going to move here overnight.

It was hot and smelly, but we knew that going in there.

If you were going to build a bomb in your bike, you're not going to advertise it. I'm kind of shocked and amazed every time it happens.

The little things matter a lot more. We have to learn to do things the right way. We feel like we're still competitive.
