[Peace] today

[Cumpston, Copenhaver]

I was one of the people clapping on Lincoln - your float was spectacular, dignified, BIG, and a good balance to the theme of the parade. I was surprised by the clapping too - and proud of my neighborhood, and of your impressive work for public awareness.

I was overwhelmed by the reception on Lincoln Avenue. At first I thought the
people could not possibly be clapping for us and I kept looking around to see what
could be attracting so much respect. After the initial disbelief, tears came to my
eyes and I had to fight them back.
