After a re-read of your essay, I was moved at all

the salient points you made, Diane. I ponder the mob's

desecration of a revere space, and wondered why. Why?

You provided the answer in seven simple words: "We

build buildings to enshrine our stories." Your story and

mine.

Thank you, Marge Webb
