What to take with us from all of this? Who and what is worthy of remembrance? Over on the CHS Facebook page, we got things started with a few ideas of what should be remembered on Capitol Hill in 2010:
Who and what else? 1,000 here and 4,000 there, to be sure. By the way, our news partners at the Seattle Times have posted this list of Memorial Day things to do around the city including the Nisei Veterans Committee ceremony at Lake View cemetery.
Many of us remember the great GAY Pride marches and rallies in Volunteer Park …. 15-16 years of them. Big events, lots of buzz, flashing rainbow banners on the light poles, anticipation, packed crowds on Bwy. and then in the park, such a beautiful space for a rally. It has not been the same since the move off the Hill, however you wish to dice it.
Many years of memories.
