abstract:Patrick "Pat" Burns (1921 - June 8, 1996) was a radio talk show host and newspaper reporter. He was born in Montreal, Quebec, but began his radio career in England with the BBC as a sports reporter covering the world hockey championships in London in 1949.
But fortunately, right here in Philadelphia, you all have this wonderful grocer named PatBurns who had already opened successful stores in other neighborhoods.
And I also have to recognize PatBurns, who hosted us at the Fresh Grocer today. (Applause.) Pat hosted us, just as Jeff Brown hosted Secretary Vilsack and others at his supermarket last summer.
So with your success here in Pennsylvania, what you've shown us is that when we provide the right support and incentives, then business leaders like PatBurns and Jeff Brown, they're going to take the chance to invest in our communities.
