Dear Traveling Companions,
After the fires, the comeback trail. It is strewn with memories of what was. The incineration of what made you you determines now what you will become. Family heritage and that of whole communities are gone, but you can still be what you always were, a maker of history. Just as birds return to the remnants of trees and nature's green cover resurges, your life begins anew, slowly to be sure, but with the certainty that in American life there is always a second act.
On Thanksgiving Day,
