Greensburg SUSANNE WALSTRÖM
THANKS TO THE PEOPLE OF GREENSBURG. YOUR HELP MADE THIS BOOK POSSIBLE.
In loving memory of Anette Nyqvist (1961–2021), journalist and friend, who experienced Greensburg with me on that first journey, before the tornado. Your passion, fearlessness, and quirky spirit are deeply missed.
