I cried when I read this announcement. With support from my friends, Melani and Tony, I was certain that I would be chosen to fill the boots of Wendell Lewis!
But then, I realized why Craig C. decided that I was ethically and intellectually overqualified. I decided to accept my disappointment and support our new village czar. I added a verse to the hymm and plan to sing it at the May Fare in his honor.
He leadeth me, He leadeth me
By His own hand, He leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be For by His hand, He leadeth me
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, over troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
And o’er the ghetto realms He rules We little people, dogs and fools With camera perched in upscale tree The anointed vision He doth see
He leadeth me, He leadeth me
Cleaner and safer, the good must be The condo agents sing with glee In our beloved U. Cee. Dee
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

And a more complete version of the press-release-cum-news-story at www.ucreview.com.
Not much reading is needed between the lines to indicate that "they" haven't learned a thing from what's gone on in the past. In my humble opinion, of course.
Witness (from the above... emphasis added):
- He is expected to further UCD's stated mission to build " ... effective partnerships maintaining a clean and safe environment while promoting, planning, and advocating for University City's diverse, urban community."
- "Bergheiser’s accomplishments included cultivating major civic initiatives and influencing public and private stakeholders to invest in key programs"
- "initiating improvements to retail corridors"
- "He has a unique set of skills in urban development, community relations, management, strategic planning and fundraising that will help us accomplish our goals and meet the terrific opportunities that await this community"
- Bergheiser says ... “The combined assets of the institutions, along with a dynamic neighborhood and vibrant commercial corridors all add up to an exciting opportunity"
The attitude shown by our "partners" at Penn is astonishing (Also from the article in the UCReview: “After an extensive search we have found the person to lead UCD into the future and we are thrilled to announce Matt as the new executive director,” said Craig Carnaroli, Chairman of the UCD Board [and Executive VP of the University of Pennsylvania, the press release neglected to mention]."
Strongly suggests that what the anointed think of themselves and us is well summed up by the words of the familiar hymn:
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
By waters still, over troubled sea,
Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
Always at your service and ready for a diatribe -- er, dialog.
