5. Thinking cases
I lived away for nine years. I was in college and teaching.
But I ended up coming back because I married back home and I know this is where I need to be. So there is a great satisfaction knowing that. I really love being here in my granny’s house that was her grandmother’s house.
And I feel a real peace about being here. And I tell people every night when I close that old Montgomery door that I am very fortunate to be on a square of land that has been in the family for six generations and to have a family that appreciates that like my family does.

6. Going from sources to cases
Susan
I hope that everybody who is here, whether they been here forever, or just got here, they realize the power of this place and the beauty of it.
Raul
And the beauty is not just in the trees or the landscape . . .
but in the people and in the stories of the past and they recognize that each one of them has a say so.
Priya
That the decisions we make are going to determine the future and that this place is worth fighting for.
It’s worth working for.
