Dear Copper Gazette,
I wanted to take the time to thank you for the story of the Benson Bench
& also to work horse John Howsden for writing the story. John also
does a lot of volunteer work in the community so its no surprise he is
some how involved in this. With all the gloom and doom in the news
theses days it was refreshing to see a story of a young man and his
family working hard to improve the community and at the same time
achieve a goal (Eagle Scout). Pres. Kennedy's quote "ask not what your
country can do for you but what you can do for your country" is well
known but examples of Kennedy's quote are sometimes hard to find. Just think
if everyone in the community did something so basic to help improve it.
Thank you to past and present volunteers of the community your service
does not go un-noticed thank you for making the place we live in a
better community.
Grant West
