“I’m thinking about any of the great tragedies we’ve seen, near or far. It starts with some wave of energy, vacuum and forceful. It sweeps over a place, embroiling the people, washing their things away. But they find out their dreams survive. Their handshakes, their smiles continue.” – Publisher and Editor Nada Marjanovich
