As the renovation has progressed, the fate of the well crossed my mind each time I went by or into the shopping center. Somehow I had gotten the idea that the plans included incorporating the well somewhere into the project. It certainly would have fit nicely right there under their gargantuan new sign, it appears!

So I went my way, busy as we all are. But looking back, I could have fit in a couple more phone calls, or an email, or buttonholding a construction foreman at the site, or other proactivity.

This has been a good lesson for me and I am already an activist! No matter how well we are served by a well-organized and well-intentioned community group like the CV Historical Society, they can’t do it all for us. All together now, “if it is to be, it is up to me!”
