Dear Friends,
The above photo is from the front page of the local newspaper after the Lilac Parade on May 16, with the giant Peace Dove we flew at the centerof the pictures! The month of May also allowed us to celebrate Memorial Day and what the young lives lost could have given us... as well as the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race! World Turtle Day occurred May 23. For June, World Oceans Day is June 8 while Flag Day is June 14. Most especially, Juneteenth, celebrating complete Southern freedom from slavery in 1865, is June 19. Then the Solstice and first day of summer happens on Father's Day, June 21.
