Bill discusses elections since 1980, and the northwest Philadelphia political 'tree' extending from Gray to former Councilperson Marian Tasco, Congressman Dwight Evans, former At Large Councilman Derrick Green to Councilperson Cindy Bass, and  Mayor Cherelle Parker, and recalls lots of people and elections in between.
