But the main reason for my post is to clarify and add to some questions that were posted concerning the director. I have worked with Holly Mull in years past and her qualifications for directing this show are unique. She served as special events director for the City of Atlanta leading up to and during the Olympics in 1996 and had run her own special events company ever since then. Unfortunately, just two weeks after the Midtown festival, Holly suffered a massive stroke and passed away the next day. A memorial service is planned for this Thursday, Nov. 18th at St. Luke's Episcopal Church on West Peachtree St. in Atlanta at 12 noon.
Those of us in the Atlanta community who knew Holly and her tremendous capabilities are devastated by her loss to say the least. I know Holly kept complete records of every detail of the work she did and I just hope and pray that her surviving co-workers can continue to keep the Midtown Festival set on the road to great success that Holly's hard work brought about this year.

The Midtown Festival of the Arts was a prime example of her efforts and influence. I would only hope her efforts and of those involved in the event would continue to grow and prosper. Having also known Dan Jackson for three decades and his involvement in the Arts and its industry, his reflections on Ms. Mull are correct, accurate and reflect the wonderful memories of thousands of people.
