John's Smith: A Tribute to Smitty

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 kind 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
