It’s a rite of passage

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor,

     The Monticello Dam has been a part of the lives of every child that has grown up in and around Monticello. We have all been down there swimming, playing in the water, fishing, and walking the apron. The first time across the apron is a sort of rite of passage that will stay in our memories forever. It makes me sick to think that it could be torn out for no good reason.

     We should save and maintain the dam for our grandchildren and their children to love and enjoy like we do.

     I’ve signed the petition to save the dam, hope you do too.
