The celebrations, the food, the parades and pronouncements give us an annual reminder of all that we are so thankful for \u2013 and also a reminder to share our blessings.<\/p>\n<p>One benefit of my position as California\u2019s Secretary of Agriculture is that my department coordinates the annual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fooddrive.ca.gov\/\">State Employees Food Drive<\/a>, which last year donated 647,110 pounds of food to our\u00a0partner,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cafoodlink.org\/\">California Emergency Foodlink.<\/a> Following\u00a0the example of our state\u2019s farmers and ranchers who provide so much of our nation\u2019s and indeed our world\u2019s food, state workers created this program back in 1975 \u2013 during Governor Jerry Brown\u2019s first term. Since then, it has steadily grown from a fledgling collection of canned goods to a key component of our food banks\u2019 annual plans.<\/p>\n<p>2013 marked the passing of the food drive\u2019s first statewide coordinator, Myron Curtis, who worked at the Department of General Services but found his real calling as the state workforce\u2019s unofficial Santa Claus. Mr. Curtis leaves a legacy of generosity and joviality that inspired our state employees to support, expand and sustain the annual food drive. Here\u2019s a quote from the DGS <a href=\"http:\/\/www.documents.dgs.ca.gov\/dgs\/pio\/dgs50\/1980\/Winter.pdf\">Winter 1980-81 newsletter<\/a>: \u201cMr. Curtis\u2019 efforts in the program cannot be overstated. He is the driving force behind the success of the food drive, and a concerned and compassionate member of his community.\u201d (There\u2019s also a nice photo of Mr. Curtis in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.documents.dgs.ca.gov\/dgs\/pio\/dgs50\/1981\/NovDec.pdf\">Nov.-Dec. 1981 issue<\/a>, top right.) He sincerely enjoyed this annual effort, and he helped his coworkers see how much good they could all do together. He took pride in setting new records year after year \u2013 but as the numbers grew, Mr. Curtis always remained connected to why he was doing this important work. As he told his colleagues, \u201cIn many cases, the food you and I contribute has been, or will be, the only \u2018holiday\u2019 many people may have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I recently dedicated this year\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fooddrive.ca.gov\/\">State Employees Food Drive<\/a> to the memory of Mr. Myron Curtis. As you gather to give thanks, I encourage you to reflect on the people in your life who bring out the best in those around them \u2013 and I ask you humbly, as Myron Curtis did each year, to give as you are able.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thanksgiving is a uniquely American invention, and I think it must be one of our finest.
