Friends,
I am going on 15 days of married life now and I am convinced that it is a spectacular institution. In the midst of merging two home, opening gifts, and submitting paperwork for a name change, we took a time out. On Saturday we headed up to the top of the Peoria Heights Water Tower with Jared and Jordan. We enjoyed looking out over all of Peoria and Peoria Heights. It was a gorgeous day...both in beauty and experience.
The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends. It should be a place where each individual’s dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaction and warmth which comes from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilization. It is what we seek today.
Lyndon B. Johnson
