I will never forget Walter Long, he believed in my dreams, accepted to be Honorary Chair of "June 1st, International Children's Day" year after year. Walter really enjoyed my own "M"Soul Productions TV shows presenting Summit's people, The Art Center, The Food Bank, Forever Music, Human Mosaics, etc, including a Special "Our Mayor " dedicated to his 8 years of leadership in Summit. Everyone can listed to his voice, anytime, on the opening of the multicultural CD "Our Day, Children's Day" sang by Summit's students in 17 languages.
THANK YOU, Mayor Long!!! http://margareta.com/june_first.htm
Most sincere condolences and sympathy to his wonderful family, from Margareta Paslaru
