[Note for the Record: Following Mayor Valdes-Fauli’s reading of the title to Agenda Item 1 (i.e. Presentation of a Proclamation declaring June 13, 2017 as "Craig Curry Day" in Coral Gables), Mayor Valdez-Fauli stated we are very proud of Greg Curry and what he has done for Coral Gables. Mayor Valdez-Fauli read the Proclamation. Mr. Curry thanked the City of Coral Gables for proclaiming June 13, 2017 as Craig Curry Day. Mr. Curry stated that he wanted talk about 1965 and beyond where he got his foundation in Coconut Grove, where he learned to play football and where he wanted to emulated the bigger guys on the George Washington Carver High School Football Team. Mr. Curry stated he had the opportunity to attend Coral Gables High School in 1965, where his skills were sharpened, where he was coached by a dynamic and award winning coach, namely Coach Nick Kotys, where we were on a bigger stage playing games in stadiums seating 40,000 and we were frequently outnumbering the games that were played at the University of Miami. Mr. Curry stated from there he went to the University of Minnesota where he played and matured, but unfortunately he was unable to play his first year as a freshman, because of academic shortcomings, but he added that was the best thing to happen to him, as he learned how to study and learned and matured as a human being and academician and obtained his degree in Psychology, and a Master’s in Athletic Administration. Mr. Curry stated he had an opportunity to play for the Miami Dolphins being drafted by the Dolphins in 1972; the year they went undefeated, and added humorously that otherwise he would have had a different kind of ring on his finger. Mr. Curry stated through all of that, the most important thing right now is the youth who he is working with in South Florida and the rest of the country in making sure that no one is slipping through the cracks and the many who want to can succeed, and he has put together a consulting company that helps students, mostly student athletes to get into college and to make sure that they can live their dreams even when their playing days are over. Mr. Curry thanked the City of Coral Gables, all of his friends and everyone that have come out to witness this, and said humorously that 50 years does not seem all that long ago, but sometimes in the morning when he wakes up, he can tell it’s been 50 years. Mayor Valdez-Fauli presented the Proclamation to Mr. Curry and thanked him for everything he has done for our City and said it is wonderful to have these types of presentations and get the opportunity to meet very fine people].
