What are your impressions of the opening ceremony?
Rob Jackson, Oakland, Calif.
"I thought it was one of the best ones I'd ever seen. When the USA came in, you had a lot of support from the whole arena. And the tribute to the Indians ? it was good."
Vickie Venne, Salt Lake City
"I thought it was incredibly unique. I don't think it was terribly over-Americanized, as was of concern."
Sydney Mellen, Kamas
"It was just wonderful, one of the best we've ever seen. The costumes, everything ? we loved it."
Brian Wright, Traverse City, Mich.
"I liked how the president was in the crowd. . . . He was just one of the people, down to earth."
Peter Malley, Ann Arbor, Mich.
"I don't want to make it sound like I didn't like it. . . . (But) I thought it was ironic how they had the Indian celebration, then brought out the cowboys who conquered the West."
LaDell Dye, West Jordan
"I was proud of our community and our city. I thought it was very professional and thought the world would be really impressed with what they were able to see."
Karena McDonald Salt Lake City
"The best, I thought, was the Indian part . . . it was Utah without having political or religious undertones."
