4 letters to the editor/community bulletin board june18 2015 Readers Lend Their Voices... To the Editor, I would like to thank West Oregon Electric for all our new lights. What a wonderful surprise and I’m sure it will be of help to our electric bill. Also, I want to thank “Soul” for installing them in our home. He is a great and charming young man. When he was finished he said, “Thank you for the history lesson, I have never seen so many old things.” Thank you again!
