Editor's Note
just wanted to take this opportunity to say
thank you to the general membership and the
staff at the Confederated Tribes of Grand
Ronde. This will be my last issue as editor of the
"Smoke Signals" since I have accepted a posi
tion with the Northwest Indian Fisheries Com
mission in Washington.
Although it has been an up and down two
years since coming to work for the Tribe in May
of 1989, 1 feel that lama better person for the
experience and the things that I have learned. I
will always do my best to represent the people of
Grand Ronde in the best possible way that I can
and, I can't wait for the Pow Wow.
Seeyouthen,
Brent Merrill
