What an honour to hear Melody Crowe. I was there for the dedication of the Seven Feathers cross walk, and was so pleased that town did this … but it was gone soon after, and is still just a memory. As she says, “good intentions” have a long history. Surely the town will replant/repaint it???
Melody, Felicity and Christopher,
Exceptional interview … thank you!
