Tribute to former mayor was exceptional

| May 24, 2022 1:00 AM

Many thanks to Susan Drinkard for the exceptional tribute for David Sawyer. I learned much about him I did not know, even though I worked with him for a couple of years and he was my friend.

It is wonderful how much we don't know about people in our own community and how narrow our views of each other are, even though we know that own lives are so complex and that we try so hard.

In those days our community was less partisan, and David stood for that. It was essential to bringing his vision to reality. Can we name something after him like they did in Oregon? Perhaps a project that is still non-partisan?

I hope that Susan is here to write mine when I go.
