I think you're right. I wrote that piece straight from my gut. It probably had the same effect on others, especially those who shared similar experiences down by the river. Now, I have to write a piece about the WPA-era amphitheater they are interested in tearing down next. :) Thanks, Isle. I think you’re right. I wrote that piece straight from my gut.

Summer nights and childhood memories resonate within us all, and emotion is what empowers action and commitment to purpose. I have an idea how much help your letter was.
