Mariners' Memorial deserves praise

Kudos to the Wrangell Mariners’ Memorial Committee.

Your years of meetings, emails, fundraisers and hiring “smart hands” have resulted in a stunning project. I hope you realize the impact, and recognize that your time has been well-invested.

The primo accessible location, panoramic view, architectural design, spacing of elements, silhouette, variety and quality of materials will elicit responses for decades.

It’s always intriguing when hard, cold elements, like metal, cement and nightlights, can meld and touch soft souls.

Well done.
