Earlier this week, Dick posted a plea from the California State Parks Foundation to urge the Governor and Legislature not to close state parks. Silvia Lange made her thoughts known in the following "Letter to the Editor" appearing in the Wednesday, June 3rd edition of the Marin-IJ:Dream the impossible dream
It is not impossible to keep the dream of state parks alive. Marin is blessed with seven; they play a vital role in our well-being.Just Sunday on Mount Tamalpais State Park, I saw my 23rd Mountain Play - the inspiring "Man of la Mancha."
As a 26-year volunteer for Angel Island State Park I have met thousands of local and international visitors who from the top of Mount Livermore marvel at the most beautiful view in the Bay Area. The state parks have an important educational mission. Thousands of school children came to Angel Island last year to study American history, especially immigration and the Civil War. On June 13 there is a child-oriented Civil War Day.
You can help find a better solution to our fiscal problems other than closing the state parks - sign the petition at the Mountain Play, donate to the California State Parks Foundation, contact our governor and legislators.
Silvia Lange, Nicasio
