I am a simple man with simple values but I feel the need to thank a member of my community. Ray Ball, you helped me in a time of need. Your generosity and compassion went beyond just being a neighbor. In the 10-plus years that my family has lived here you have always been there to help. With the loss yesterday of my sled dog Kiesa you came without hesitation in sub temps and helped me dig through frozen ground to put her to rest. I know that your efforts and generosity puts another star in your crown. I thank you along with Judee and the rest of my team for being there. You my friend are one hell of a good man.
