He was drawn in March of 2004. His drawing is counting one person.0:41It is worth mentioning that the last seven drawings and the next four drawings, plus two more on the west side, were completed in the spring of 2004.0:51These last 13 drawings are the completion of Heart 3. We have a lot of people already drawn in Heart 1 and Heart 4.0:58Hart 2 has all the drawings completed and the web pages for those portraits are going1:03through their final stages of proofreading and more proof designing.1:07Some of the pages we will be working on will have been opened and fixed close to a dozen1:13times.1:14That may not sound like a lot, but the sheer volume of pages we are making makes the act1:19of implementing any site-wide design decision very time consuming.1:23It is easy to get lost in just talking about the incredibly daunting and digital task that we have given ourselves.1:30These are the days when we realize that we have turned ourselves into glorified data managers.1:35But we take great pride in our data, and I can't wait to produce more.1:41He was the spontaneous one, she said.1:43It was not unusual for him to suggest a drive to Robert Moses State Park to see the deer,1:48to take the family bowling on the spur of the moment, or to plan a trip to Disney World.1:54Lieutenant Ronald Kerwin was a member of the New York City Fire Department for 20 years.← Location 340Heart Three · Location 341Location 342 →
