OFF-SCREEN NARRATOR: Larry Myny.
[On screen: Bev Robinson, President & CEO of Junior Achievement of London, has short blonde hair and wears a dark patterned jacket, seated next to Margaret Anderson against a white backdrop. ]
BEV ROBINSON: Larry Myny is a great cheerleader. He can rally all of the forces and that's what he does best.
[On screen: Still images of Larry Myny with friends, family, and colleagues displayed throughout. ]
BEV: Larry Myny's personal generosity has impacted me in so much as I've watched him as one of my role models. In business, I've watched him action amongst other leaders and really see his huge heart.
[On screen: Margaret Anderson, Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House, is dressed in black, with blonde hair, seated beside Bev Robinson, both appearing engaged in a serious conversation. ]
MARGARET ANDERSON: I believe Larry's leadership stands out because it's consistent and ongoing. It's not a one-time thing when it's going to be seen by the public as a great thing to do at that moment, it's constant. It's something that you can count on. It's not a one-time thing, and that really is something of significant value.
[On screen: Bev and Margaret continue talking while still images of Larry Myny with friends, family, and colleagues in various settings are displayed throughout. ]
BEV: Larry is there, whether it's at the board table or whether it's volunteering to deliver a Junior Achievement program, or at our gala event. He is there in a big way. That's what Larry gives to our city and our community a big way.
MARGARET: He does so much in the community. The impact that he has at Ronald McDonald House has been tremendous. A few years ago at Christmas time, he and his family actually volunteered to come in and make Christmas dinner for the families. Not a few days before Christmas, but on Christmas day they came in and made a gourmet Christmas dinner with all the trimmings for all of the families who still had to be away from their own homes on Christmas Day. It was a very personal touch, it wasn't part of his business gift or what he does. On a more public level, it was very, very personal and very, very appreciated by so many people.
