<P class=MsoNormal>Hello Main Street Coordinators, Program Managers & Directors and others in the Main Street Family,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>It was great to see many of you in New Orleans earlier this week. What an undeniable GREAT City!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>The Boston contingent, like all of you, was horrified at what took place in our City on Monday while we were in New Orleans. We then learned Tuesday that the young victim was the 8 year old son of Bill Richard, a long time St. Mark’s Area Main Street Board Member and former Board Chair here in Boston. Thankfully Bill’s wife and daughter continue to improve but their lives have been changed forever. As a first grader, his daughter will have to learn to use a prosthesis for the rest of her life, a life without one of her brothers.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am hoping that the great community of Main Streets across the country will come together to help this family who has been so influential in improving their neighborhood commercial district over the years. A little or a lot, whatever you can do will be greatly appreciated. <o:p></o:p></P>
