Ken Haller Roll 224 Sandy Haller Dear Smoke Signals: I recently received my GED, and I would like to let everyone in my family know. The only way I can do that without putting all my per capita on my VAC account is to phone them all, so I would like to send this certificate to the Tribe as well as my family for being there for me. So, I write and say first and foremost: Thank you very much Joanne Carr for never giving up and for always pushing me to succeed. Thank you to my two aunts, Joyce Kirk and Linda Olson, for telling me all the time that I need to get my GED and always pushing me to succeed as well. And last, but definitely not least, thank you to my Tribe for pushing Tribal members to further their educational goals and for being there for me when I thought I could do it all on my own.
