<font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">Its been a fascinating range of
correspondences both on and off board re the mea culpa postings.<br>
<br>
After Carols highlighting of Arthur's piece<br>
<br>
</font></font><font face="Courier New" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: "Courier New";"><i>One of the
things that
defines <st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New Mexico</st1:place></st1:state>
is that people tend to have a strong (social) connection to place.
However, economic considerations frequently make it difficult to
maintain this
connection </i><br>
<font face="Verdana"><br>
Maybe we should establish a vision statement for First Mile<br>
<br>
like:<br>
</font></span></font><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana"><br>
The members of the first mile group agree to promote the unique
cultural heritage of our state (s) by promoting technology driven
economic development for all its citizens in an understandable and user
friendly way.<br>
<br>
OK its rough and need a serious editor but ?<br>
<br>
Then we could establish an award called the ???????? and use a similar
image to famous man and god hands nearly touching <br>
<br>
<img alt="" src="cid:part1.05000608.03030407@ideapete.com" height="81"
width="109"> which would signify the first mile as the connection of
life for our people and heritage and well being<br>
<br>
Then award it </font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">each
year </font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">to the person
or project that clearly accomplishes the most / best for the vision ,
maybe we could rope in NMIPA and other groups and I know some sponsors
we could pitch.<br>
<br>
Ill give this to my designer and see what they come up with<br>
<br>
Just a thought<br>
