<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">Dear Directors: <br>
In case you missed it, there was a very supportive editorial in the <i>Oregonian </i>today addressing the situation in Hood River County.<br>
<br>
I talked to the editorial writer at the <i>Oregonian </i>several times and sent her information. I was pleased with how it turned out.<br>
