Thank You

Dear Editor: What a sweet song you left us with, Klas Stolpe. Thanks for the years and for Friday’s emotional grand finale.

John Stein, Sitka

 

Electric Vehicle Count

Dear Editor: Many of you have been asking what the total electric vehicle count for Sitka is. While we don’t know exactly, our estimate is 75 confirmed EVs plus about 10-12 additional EVs floating around Sitka. This would mean about 1 EV per 100 residents in Sitka (putting us on par with Juneau, neck-and-neck with California, and well ahead of many other locations internationally except for Norway). 

Thanks to all EV owners who e-mailed their information in, and thanks to Eve Grutter who helped with the count. If you are an EV owner who has not yet responded, you are still welcome to do so (soundsofalaska@yahoo.com).

Dave Nicholls, Sitka

 

Endorsement

Dear Editor: I would like to say a few words regarding Thor Christianson.

I went to a party on an islend, shere I slipped and fell off a ramp. I broke both ankles and my leg.

When he heard about the accident, Mr. Christianson left his birthday party to come and help me!

Not only was he extremely professional in his care, his manner was warm and reassuring. He was warm and friendly and I felt safe and reassured.

I feel this is the type of man we need on our Assembly. You are definitely a winner, Mr. Christianson. Thank you.

Vicky Porter, Sitka
