Riley Costello, 15, of Warwick, R.I., came to Salisbury recently to show her 10-minute documentary on the life of Elizabeth Duncan Koontz. Her school project won a National History Day state award for Rhode Island. Mark Wineka/Salisbury Post

On behalf of my daughter, Riley Costello, we would like to thank the Salisbury Human Relations Council and the entire Salisbury community for the warm reception that we received while visiting from Rhode Island to attend the Elizabeth Duncan Koontz Humanitarian Award Banquet. We had an amazing time and met the nicest and kindest people on our trip.

Special thanks to DeeDee Wright and Alicia Scott for their help and assistance in making this opportunity possible for Riley. We hope to be back this summer with the entire family to see more of what your historic and charming city has to offer. Thanks again.
