Appreciating Our History

Commending current ingenuity,
looking to the roots from which it grew,
our forebears passed to their community,
foundation for which gratitude is due.

With accolades for durability and strength,
with foresight to meet the public need,
and looking back, essential breadth and length,
of vision and of useful plan and deed.

Although it's often said, the study of history,
if not attended to, is liable to repeat;
however, we honor quality we see,
standing the test of time without deceit.

So we meet to learn and to admire,
accounts of how our heritage came to be,
the vision and determination to acquire,
the room for present versatility.
