Brian Ewing: I am sure most folk appreciate the effort that must go into producing the newsletter. I especially appreciate the Tips for the Tops column. Being a fully paid-up member of the anti sitka-spruce society, I cannot thank enough those masochistic Marilyn baggers who have mutilated themselves in battle with sitkas in their quest for the top. On passing on their wisdom of how to avoid the sadistic sitkas to those like myself, I thank them.
