others, enabling them to build  lives  of  dignity  and  self-worth  are
deserving of the highest praise and recognition; Norm Landis is one such
individual; and

central   to  human  expression;  they  enlighten  us  and  inspire  the
imagination; educational institutions,  individuals,  and  organizations

appreciation of this Legislative Body and the people of the State of New
