JEAN NEWBILL, Pasco

Let me, first praise the Pasco Police Department for the helpful and professional way its officers handled my recent fender-bender. A stressful situation was made less traumatic because of their efficiency.

My gratitude also extends to the gentleman who made my car safer to drive home. Sorry, I didn't get his name.

Also, I want to mention the Franklin Museum tour of the Snake River area. Learning about the hardships of the early homesteaders causes me to be grateful for the somewhat easy life we have today. A worthwhile trip made possible by dedicated Franklin County Museum people. Thank you, all.
