I know that we kind of butted heads on the Cowlitz issue recently, but I just wanted to let you known that I still do highly respect your opinion and thoughts. Too darn bad that you are not higher up in our fishery management chain! (Well maybe you're better off where you are).

I do enjoy the way that you do not let your emotions get away (one of my own short falls sometimes) from you. You do set a standard that is hard for most of us to beat. I for one, would like to thank you for all of your "logical impute", even though we may have disagreement at times. Our board is very lucky to have people such as you that are so willing to share there knowledge with others

Thanks again,
