SALEM AREA SUPERVISOR RESIGNS
f
.
.
Effective August 5, 1981 I will be resigning my position as Salem Area
Supervisor. My husband has been transferred to Washington D.C.
It has been exciting being involved in the restoration of the Siletz
Tribe.
It has been a privilege to participate in the growth of the
tribe from restoration to the reestablishment of your reservation.
I wish 1 could continue my involvement with the tribe this most exciting
time, however, this isn’t possible.
I would like to express my appreciation to the Tribal Members who have
extended their friendship and support.
I will indeed miss all of you.
I wish you all continued success in whatever you do. Dorreen Lonefight
