He said that in general hehas thought American towns tobe somewhat monotonous, lack-ing the texture and individual-ity of these In Europe. For thisreason, he said, Sanibel hasbeen a delightful surprise.
He did say that he hopesSanibel will not be sacrificedto the current tendency to turneverything to gold so that weare left starving for what wehave lost, and recommended that
we work to preserve the wildand spacious beauty of theseislands.
We agree — not only does• modern man need some breath-ing areas, but the world's great-great-grandchildren w i l l besorely pressed for wildernessand recreation areas unlesssteps are taken today to assuretheir preservation.
