[Vision2020] on behalf of Jackie Woolf

[thansen@moscow.com]

Very well put, Rose.

And I was hoping to add some color to the "Not On The Palouse" website with 
some pictures.  Oh, well . . . February is coming up.

See y'all at the SUB,

Tom Hansen
Just another liberal elitist loose in the Palouse
