Painter praised

Dear editor:

After hearing the airplane had been painted, my mother-in-law and I went to Carl Miller Park to look at it.

John Gross, you did an awesome job painting that plane! I'm sure you have been recognized by the city but I would like to congratulate you on behalf of the community. You are one of those volunteers that prefer to stay out of the limelight but have worked on many community projects quietly over the years.

Thanks for a job well done and making this community a great place to live.
