I want to underscore and accentuate the comments made by Avis Stafford in a My Turn guest opinion on March 31 regarding wake boarding on the Spokane River.
Last week, City Council members teared up talking about her many contributions to the community, and Mayor Drew Combs read a proclamation describing her accomplishments and noted that he and the council recognize and gratefully acknowledge Katherine Strehl both for commitment to addressing some of our region s most challenging issues and for being an all-around great neighbor. As someone who has sought her counsel and advice – I will miss her and recognize she was a great member of this community, he said. She s one of the people that makes this community special. It was a life well lived and I applaud her.
