Dear Jeff:

 

I am wild about the pierogi sculpture you are undertaking. My paternal Polish grandparents lived in the heart of Northeast on NE Main Street, and for several years my family lived with them. I am thrilled at the community development efforts that are underway, and especially delighted to see this pierogi sculpture.

 

Life has taken me to Portland, Oregon, and now Charlottesville, Virginia, and while the landscapes are beautiful, I still miss Northeast.

 

I would be happy to contribute to the project.

 

Best wishes,

Kathleen BPl
