"From Hiroshima to Hope" at Green Lake
Artfully written in Japanese calligraphy on thick paper are simple messages to loved ones.
"Peace."
"For Grandma."
"No More Hiroshimas."
They're just a few of the messages that will float on wood-and-paper lanterns in Green Lake tonight for the "From Hiroshima to Hope" ceremony to mark the 60th anniversary of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima. About 1,000 people have come to Green Lake every Aug. 6 for the past two decades to reflect and remember the more than 200,000 people who died in the blast or from radiation or other problems afterward.
