It is both right and peofinhle to demo the best things for Highland Park. or any othet city in which we live. Most of us came to Highland Park to live: to make a home, to “take root.” Wine is more natural than to desire to live in a beautiful city, to have one’a home surroundings attentive, to “take root" in a pleasant place?' ‘ The glacial period of the world's history was particularly thoughtful of the North Shore.

Work gives a purpose. to our lives. Work brings us in touch with our ieilows.
