[Vision2020] Letter of regret re: town meeting

[Carl Westberg]

December, 1914.  War-weary opposing soldiers call an informal Christmas 
truce along the trench-lines of Northern France and Belgium.  Legend has it 
that they even played a game of soccer against one another in an area just 
outside Armentieres.  Fast forward to Moscow, Idaho, in December 2003.  
War-weary combatants on Vision 2020 declare an informal Christmas truce, and 
perhaps play a game of lacrosse at Guy Wicks Field.  They share beer, wine, 
food, and warmth.  But then, just as in World War I, the truce ends, and the 
bloody battle continues.  Never mind...                                      
                                                                             
                                                                             
                                                                             
     Carl Westberg Jr.
