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.
