Our region made difficult financial decisions as revenues that once flowed ebbed. We braced against a recession and swallowed the passings of our friends. But for all that bad news we still measured our smiles in inches as snow fell around us like confetti. We toasted each other and this place in the last light of summer evenings. And this much we know: there was never anywhere better to be, in both good times and bad.
