OCTOBER 1, 2004 SMOKE SIGNALS 4 Dear Editor, I would like to thank the people of the Smoke Signals for all the help that they have given me. Thank you to the Clinic and Dr. Pratt for helping with my husband the most important thing in my life. Especially to Michael VVatkins and his crew for helping me get hearing aids for my husband and getting it set so I can make payments. To Larry Kovach and Chris Mercier who did the copying I needed of the medical records so I could get the paper work in. To Valorie Sheker-Robertson and Reyn Leno for trying to help get me tickets for the concert next month. Thank you to Brent Merrill for getting me an opportunity to meet the Portland Winter Hawks Hockey team and also to Pearl Mekemson, Ron Rife and Sheila Thompson who are my family members and who have helped during my husband's illness and my illness and for being there for us and to all my grand kids and friends who have come and done house work and checked on us every day and helped me get dressed and helped with my medical needs. To Tom O'Brien and the officers, I want to thank them. And to every one who has helped us, special thanks and my prayers go out to them. With all of our love, Ed & Marcia Bolton I ' T " 1 fifJJ fi 5 - 8 Real Award Tribal Realty Specialist Jan Reibach received a certificate for Outstanding Realty Employee of the Year from the Bureau of Indian Affairs Northwest Regional Office.
