Jerry, so fun to see this video and stills. Bella Ruse started an hour earlier than most the Arts Council events in the park, so I showed up at the very end. (Yes, I do know how to read a schedule, just didn’t). It was great to get at least a taste of the event. Loved the shot of the man reaching over to hold his (wife’s?) hand. — Michele
