The Hon. Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor, City of Atlanta
City Hall

Atlanta, Geargia

Dear Mr. Allen:

Out-of-town visitors havecoften asked me why
Atlantan's have such fierce civie pride - sometimes this
is hard to explain - we have it - we don't know exactly
why - it's like trying to explain why you like a great
symphony or the feeling you get from looking at a great
painting and somehow knowing all is well.

On Tuesday of this week you’put this pride in
sharp focus. In the ugliness of the whole sordid mess,
your demonstration of leadership and bravery was a moment
of triumph for all good citizens of Atlanta.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.
