Catch the Big Pittsfield MA Live This 4th of July 2018.The Star Spangled Banner was sung clear as a bell by Linda Billow.

I did some outreach about my late teen son Kaelan Palmer Paton who passed saving friends from the Housatonic River in Fals Village and Salisbury Ct in June 2009. I wanted to reverence the many connections, mostly wonderful and positive that happen for people along the banks of the same river.
