i’m sorry this is so late but before you all scatter for the summer I want you to know how much I appreciate the space you gave to the RiverDrums Festival in your October issue. It is a jewel of an article by any standard but especially for one written and designed by high school kids. You even manage to make me sound intelligent.

So to all the staff and students who worked on the article, and especially to Madeline for being there and writing it, thank you.

We’re doing it again June 24 , 5-10 pm at Promenade Park and this year I rented a full moon to make it extra special.

Hope to see some of you there and thank you in person.
