Outgoing commissioner thanks community

To The Eagle:

Congratulations, Mr. Tisher. I hope you do well and that we can get behind you and help you do the great work Wahkiakum has come to expect from our leaders. If I can be of assistance, please feel free to give me a call or email.

I would like to take this time to thank the residents of Wahkiakum for the opportunity to serve you as county commissioner dist 1. I worked hard and found the job very rewarding. I will never be the same. I will volunteer and stay active in our community. I know that it takes the people of the community to make a difference.

Lastly, I would like to thank the people that went above and beyond for me during the campaign. Joe, Laurie, Carol, and Tom, but most of all to my lovely wife who stood beside me, encouraged me and let me do what I needed to do.
