Letter to the Editor

I would like to  acknowledge publicly  my  appreciation to  Craig Franke from CWS. He has consistently been a supporter of the efforts in community building at Four Winds Resource Center.  It has not  been just a one-time event but  for years  he has  been willing to make trash  disposal easier for out-the-road residents. Even when things went wrong, he  didn’t quit, as most would have, but rather was willing to try a new system that seems to be working better.

It is really nice to have people in our community  that support each other. Craig understands how communities happen and that we need to work together and support each others’ efforts.  Haines does not have enough volunteer or financial resources to be fighting and impeding each other’s work.

Frequently this community building “out the road” has struggled to get support from town. So it feels significant and worthy of acknowledgment when  someone makes a consistent  effort to help our community.

Thanks  Craig! Mardell Gunn
