Press Reviews

Mayor Of Waco-Virginia DuPuy | show/hide snippet
'1953 was a turning point for our City, and while the courage and community heart for helping one's friends rose to the surface the hours and days that followed, there were many ways that Waco's spirit was deeply crushed that tragic afternoon. It has taken over fifty years for a vibrant downtown to reemerge but the good news is that it is now happening. With the new energy that is sweeping the center of city, it's easier to look back and remember the terror and the tears. Thanks, Shane, for helping preserve the memories in a way that is honest and healing.
