This was the John Smith Tribute Speech written by Karen, a good friend of Mary Brown for what would be Mary's final festival as owner/operator of the Festival of the West.
Robert Fuller was kin
...
d enough to read the speech in John's honor.
Mary started the Festival of the West in honor of John in 1991, so it was befitting that she ended it with a tribute to her friend and childhood hero, John "Smitty" Smith.
Due to some technical difficulties, the slide show was not able to be displayed during the speech as planned so I used a split screen to bring them both together.
Special thanks to Mr. Fuller for doing such a wonderful job on the speech and thanks to Peggy for the video footage
