Dear Editor:
I began to look around my house today at all the family photos – our kids growing up, relatives that have passed on, photos showing those times when we were younger, reminding me of those earlier times and those memories that define who I am – that sense of pride I hold for my family, and the values we all pass on to one another. It’s our family history, and to think of someone dismissing or diminishing it is so unjust.
Is that not also true about where we live? Isn’t it all of our responsibility to instill that sense of pride in our community – to educate our children about those who came before us and who helped build our community? It’s who we are today.
Let’s start instilling that sense of pride in our community – let the museum finish its fundraising. It deserves a grand location.
Years from now, a great museum at this site (Pipe Shop at The Shipyards) would be a legacy to the vision and foresight to our council today.
