Creative Expressions Gallery / Submission #111 2

To whom it may concern,

Hardy Brunell is a Las Vegas native and a music lover. In reaction to this tragic event, he wishes to offer his vision of a 1 October memorial. Filled with baby tortoises, vegetation, the favorite songs and colors of the 58, Las Vegas can commemorate the lives lost with a living monument for decades to come.

Hardy is a retired electrician who has contributed to Las Vegas engineering teams for decades. He cares for two turtle sanctuaries at his home, fully engineered with fountains and lights, similar to the design being offered in this submission. Guests that visit enjoy these peaceful tortoise pods very much and he would like to offer this same comfort and peace to the families of those who lost their loved ones in this tragic event.

The illustrator/submittor is an engineering student at UNLV.

Regards,

Margaret Freepartner
