Letters – Thank you for the graduation parade, Skagway

Dear Editor and People in Skagway,

 I am writing this editorial/letter to the person or persons that came up with the idea of giving a parade for the graduating class of 2020!

Thank you for the great idea!

Only in a small town like we have in Skagway can something like this take place.  Both my wife and I had tears in our eyes as we watched the parade and listened to the sirens and horns.

 In this time of isolation with the virus there are so few things that we can really celebrate, this parade was such a joy for all of us!

Great job and kudos!

– Marv Russell
