Comments on: Dedication of park bench to the late Chuck Morgan to be Saturday, July 31 http://www.kirklandviews.com/archives/19137/ KIRKLAND NEWS | Daily news for the City of Kirkland, WA Sun, 20 May 2012 22:06:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rob Butcher http://www.kirklandviews.com/archives/19137/#comment-63073 Rob Butcher Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:22:53 +0000 http://www.kirklandviews.com/?p=19137#comment-63073 Hello Ann,<br>I would like to share some context wih you regarding this subject. I understand your feeling that the contributions Chuck Morgan made to the City of Kirkland merit a significant tribute and perhaps someday someone (maybe you?) will start a movement to dedicate a park or a street to his memory as you suggest. However, at this time, the City is not insulting anyone by dedicating a park bench. On the contrary, friends of Chuck Morgan have collected private donations for this cause - dedicating a park bench in honor of a friend who has past. This is somewhat of a tradition in Kirkland, and you will notice that many of our parks have such tributes.<br>I applaud those who have worked to dedicate this park bench to their friend, and I encourage you to promote another tribute if you so desire.<br>Thank you for your comments.
