The fact that mankind takes his blessings for granted is a
product of human nature. For this, we ar not to be crittzed
but it does behoove us to pay attention ond reawaken our in-
terest and our appreciation when we are remiinded of the many
blessings we have learned to receive and accept without rea-
lizing what it would mean if they were taken away.
As new citizens of the City of Graham, many of Graham’s
blessings are new to us and therefore stand apart from those
to which we have been accustomed.
It is not the purpose of our letter to elaborate upon the
multitude of delightful experiences which have enriched our
lives in the short time we have lived in Graham for space
would not permit However, it seems appropos at this time
that we make known one of our more rewarding and satisfying
experiences.
Having traveled our country from New York to Los Angeles
and from Miami to Seattle, we are quite aware of the many
splendid forms df cultural and contemporary entertainment for
which the American people spend billions of dollars annually.
We know what it means to be the proud possessors of two first
night tickets for seats at a symphony concert, and we also
have been pushed and jostled by the crowds eagerly endeavor-
mg to purchase twenty dollar tickets for standing room only.
You, therefore, will understand our amazement to find the
exact, same entertainment and the exact, same, people per-
forming in Graham that we enjoyed ui New York, st Louis,
and San Francisco. All this at a cost no more than the nominal
parking fee tor parking ones car to a large metropolitan area.
Now, add the availability of seals, ones car parked a few yards
away, and all- within five minutes of our home, and you can
see one of the reasons we are so excited about our new life
to Graham.
Here is one of Graham’s blessings, the Community Con-
cert Association that we shall always support and appreciate
tor we know what it means to us and to all the people of our
City. It would be difficult for us to see why every family would
not find a place in their budget for the GrahAm Community
Concert Association.
