Letters to the Editor: Thank you, supporters

Dear Editor,

Please allow me to take a minute and thank all 1,542 voters who supported
me to serve as a board member of the Silverton Fire District. My hope was that my combined experience in managing taxpayer money and serving as a firefighter would be enough to prevail. Though it is not to be, I wish Chief Giles and all the Firefighter-EMTs the absolute best and extend my appreciation for all that they do.

We are fortunate to have such dedicated men and women responding to our rescue whenever tragedy hits.

Thank you, Steven Dye
