I congratulate Rita Blitt on receiving an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts degree from Washburn University. Rita created and contributed the sculpture that is the centerpiece of the Skywalk Memorial that honors the victims and first responders to that tragedy. The memorial is located at 22nd and Gillham Road. We will be forever grateful to her and late husband, Irwin, for their commitment and generosity.
