Dear Smoke Signals:
During the snow and ice, Julie Davis, our pharmacist, went beyond the
call of duty to get all of the medicines that needed filled.
Her husband, Mike, drove her down to the clinic so she could fill these
medicines. Then she dropped them off at the lodge, where many of us went
to stay, on her way home.
Also thanks to her help in there for helping her during that week when
everything was closed. They need to be recognized in some way to show
our appreciation for this.
Thanks again, Julie and crew.
