Thank you Ketchikan

I WANT TO GIVE MY THANKS TO THE CITY OF KETCHIKAN FOR MAKING MY TIME THERE SOME OF THE MOST MEMORIBLE TIMES OF MY LIFE. THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEFRIENDED ME WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, THE FRIENDS I HAVE MADE WILL REMAIN WITH ME FOREVER, MAYBE ONLY IN MY THOUGHTS, BUT THERE FOREVER. I HAVE TRAVELED AND WORKED IN MOST VILLAGES, TOWNS AND CITIES IN ALASKA, AND I WANT YOU TO KNOW KETCHIKAN IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN ALASKA, HAS SOME OF THE FRIENDLEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, BESIDES HAVING FISHING, FISHING AND MORE FISHING..IT HAS THE GILMORE HOTEL AND ANNABELLS, AND GUESS WHAT.. A WALMART!

IF YOU APPROVE THE DOCK EXPANSION JUST THINK HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE COULD EXPERIENCE THE THINGS I HAVE AND MAYBE EVEN RETURN FOR ANOTHER DOSE OF YOUR WONDERS, BESIDES SPEND THEIR MONEY.

MAYBE SOMEDAY THE HOSPITAL WILL SEE FIT TO HAVE ME RETURN AGAIN, BUT IF NOT, WHO KNOWS. THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND, KETCHIKAN...
