Dear Smoke Signals, An election is coming up. As in all elections it is important that all can didates are evaluated on their merits, stands on issues and records. Read all information available and if possible talk to each candidate. Remember, the future of our Tribe is in the hands of our council. Be sure you are registered and vote with an informed vote. Barbara Cantwell Roll 632 Jim Pichette Roll 636 Dear Mary, Richard, Richard and Grand Ronde, I am writing this now in hopes that you will be able to read this now and then and see what others have seen in your son and brother. I remember Mary when you told me one time that having a house full of your sons' friends was worth feeding and cleaning up after them because it was only going to be a short time until they have their own lives and then you would just have the memories. Well, it is these words that I live by now, with a house full of my children's friends all the time, feeding and cleaning up after them, a family value I saw in your home. And yes, I do have the good memories too that you talked about and I will also cherish the memories too that you have talked about, and I will also cherish the memories of your home and how you all made me feel welcome and the memory of Kenji. When we did fundraisers for NAYA, I was amazed at Kenji's maturity, he could have been sleeping in late, or doing something else with his Sat urday evening, but every time the team was needed, he was there with his friends early in the morning setting up and when the event was over, he helped tear down. This was hard work, but he was always capable of doing a man's job and proved this often. I was so amazed to see how his teammates respected him, he would help his dad organize everyone and give out orders that all followed until the task was complete. He was a leader among his peers. Kenji had a charismatic personality, he was able to hold a conversation with anyone, he had an infectious laugh and good looks. I always enjoyed talking to him when I had to call your house for some NAYA business, if I asked him how he was doing, he would tell me something that was going on in his life. It's not right that parents should bury a child; I always pictured seeing all the boys from the NAYA team years from now with their own families, that's the way it should be. Nothing I say will ease the pain and heart ache you are going through right now, but I wanted you to know that I will always remember the respect Kenji showed me and he will be missed. Sincerely a friend, Kay Eagle Staff wan mm. v 1 iv . t '(oflc r l" . v , . . ,. . y 9 1 ,. - j , .
