*By Hank Rosenfeld Santa Monica*

Andrew Fixmer’s lead story “Pico residents walk to end area's violence” (Santa Monica Daily Press, June 3, 2002), was strong and right on, and inspiring to read. And here I thought they wanted to end the violence in Pico by using a helicopter from Hawthorne. No, people power can work wonders. Kevin McKeown’s quote, “Peace becomes possible when fellowship is forged face-to-face...” and Lucille Power’s “I have faith this will work,” gave me hope way beyond the disturbing sound a Blade Runner helicopter droning low and loud in the night ever could.

Thanks for the story.
