Such an honor to attend the presentation and hear first hand the process from which the design evolved. I can’t remember when I was so impressed or moved by a first hand experience. It reinforced for me, the necessity to build constituency to insure that this project is brought to fruition, and that this chapter in history is recognized. fully understood and learned from.
