For some well-doing com
munity members, an expres
sion of gratitude was recendy
made public.
Neda Wesley took time to
honor several com m unity
members during the senior’s
luncheon at High Lookee
Lodge recendy.
“I wanted to make this a
very thankful time,” Wesley
explained.
A cco rd in g to W esley,
“The reason I’m doing this
is too many times we over
look the thoughtful things
our people do for us.”
Wesley said they typically
honor a community member
each month, and when she
learned they didn’t have a per
son named she chose to take
time to deliver a few expres
sions o f gratitude- fb people
in her life.
At one point, Wesley said,
she fell serio u sly ill and
needed assistance.
When Charlotte Herkshan
found her, Wesley said, she
immediately offered to help
by taking Wesley to the hos
pital.
“She took me and she
stayed with me all night,”
Wesley said.
Herkshan later repeated

time.
In Herkshan’s opinion, she
was able to help a woman who
has been influential in her life.
A cco rd in g to H erkshan ,
“This lady has taught me so
much.”
From the time she was young
and Wesley taught a 4-H club in
Simnasho, Herkshan said, she
has been learning from her.
“I re a lly treasu re h er,”
Herkshan added. “I treasure a
NOW till March 3 1 st

Wesley also thanked Cap

A fter her husband re

men hunted for her family.
“We really, really adore
them and thank them for
thinking of us,” Wesley said.
