It was a beautiful afternoon and evening for the party in Burns
Court. The special tribute to Owen Burns included his daughter Harriet,
his great grandson and great grandaughter as Mayor Kelly Kirschner read
the official city of Sarasota proclamation thanking Mr. Burns for the
tremendous contributions he made to the community we all love.
Thank
you to all of the supporters of the Owen Burns Celebration especially
Debbe Dart, without whose vision, creativity and tireless dedication
this week wouldn't have been possible.
In the words of the author Jeff LaHurd, "Burns's legacy is that he laid the foundation for the Sarasota we enjoy today."
Thank you Mr. Burns and thank you city of Sarasota for tipping your hat to a great man.
