healing?

Can it be that Tom Curtis has performed a public service tonight, at the Country Club, with the Festival meeting? I frequently disagree with his Editorials and opinions but his efforts to revive the Festival seems to have revived the community interest and spirit need to enhance and expand the Festival in the future. It has brought people of differing ideas and philosophies together to unite for a common cause- to have the best Festival ever. Returning to our roots on the river and the environment seemed to be a general consensus and seems to be a good starting focal point for the future. The Indians were certainly a part of our history and should be acknowledged at least, and included. Their story and culture should be heard and shared. Perhaps this is a first step in a community healing and revitalization process. Time will tell.
