My mother and father are white and lived in San Pablo in 1946 when I was born. Dr. Weeks brought me into this world when I believe my mother was his only white patient. She loved him dearly and spoke very fondly of him. I last saw him in 1964 for a minor problem when I briefly moved back to San Pablo. Even though it had been many years since seeing me, he remembered me well and he was just as sweet as I remembered him as a child. I am happy Dr. Weeks is remembered through the RWR Foundation and the good work it does. If Dr. Weeks has any living decendents I would like them to know this.

Our recipients represent West Contra Costa's shining stars, who despite many obstacles, lack of finances, have persevered and completed their education, some have returned to this community and are giving back to the community. These are often the stories not shared with the community. We again thank you for your very positive story.
