Photos: Erin Maxwell Park Equipment Dedication
This will look like old news to you, but to me, it’s a case of “making amends”. This photo, and a few more inside with the story, came from a recent dedication in Palermo of a bench and play equipment in honor of Erin Maxwell. I was out of town that day and could not cover the event, so the organizer asked Susan Lanty, who had taken some pictures there, to share some with us. She did, but I never saw them, until Wednesday night.
