Kelly, I like Tom Nordyke, and appreciate his relevance to the issues and his experiences. He and I served on the Minneapolis Arts Commission together in the 90's, and we elected him board chair back then. I believe that getting him elected to the Park Board would be a smart move on our part. Pamela Taylor

He appeared to be the most prepared on the issues, and balanced in his approach to solving the myriad problems on the park board right now. I actually looked forward to hearing his answers! I think his experiences working with large budgets and projects at ArtSpace, his dedication to historic preservation, his avid use of the parks, and his broad experiences in general make him the best of this field. At my Ward 11 convention Rochelle Berry Graves talked about the importance of connecting the arts to Park Board activities, and that is important to me. She didn't mention the arts at the forum, but maybe she didn't feel she had the right opportunity to do so. Kelly O'Brien Kingfield REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
