Re: Linda the P: Me too.

["Mary Reed" <lchs@moscow.com>]

Dear People,

History will support the fact that Linda Pall has made a tremendous
contribution to historic preservation in this county. I personally
witnessed on two occasions how she saved the 1912 building from becoming a
parking lot or playfield. Our files at the historical society are full of
references and documentation to the positive effect she has had on this
community. 

Other nominees should include Duane and Phyllis LeTourneau, Lori Keenan,
Mary Blythe, Tom Lamarr, and I'm sure I'll think of more. Just thought of
one person who was instrumental in getting Moscow Centennial underway: then
mayor Gary Scott. And how about Lillian and H. Robert Otness?
