    I grew up in Tucson and have always loved the Flandrau. I was always particularly fond of the Laser Light Shows. In particular I remember Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon” and Kansas “Point of Know Return”.

    I hope these shows will be aggressively promoted, as they tend to be very popular if people know about them, and they could become a major source of revenue for the Flandrau, which may help ease the current financial constraints.

    Best Regards,
