Editor, Sitnews,

While driving home this afternoon, I witnessed what I have been seeing for the past several months swearing to comment on it. It is the gentleman who is wandering along the streets of Ketchikan picking up trash. I cheered him on silently reflecting on past history of Ketchikan when the court would allow folks arrested for minor issues resulting in short jail time, to acquire a city provided garbage can on wheels and implements, of which they would clear the street gutters much as this apparent volunteer is employing.

My hat is off to him and were there a community award for categories other than the local rich and famous, (said with good humor intent), he should be nominated.

So, with this short note, to you sir, a hardy thanks. Your actions set an example of civic pride without fanfare. Again, hats off to you and a honk of the horn.

Cheers

A.M.Johnson
Ketchikan, Alaska
