In his letter, "Welcome Brink Back," Larry Knecht misses the point regarding the return of Steve Brink to the Tongass. Is the "professional" management Mr. Knecht speaks of...

...repulsive. You, Ms. Joy, have my permission to seek a "humanistic, peace driven, cooperative foreign policy" with the bin Ladens of this world. Be sure and announce that you are an American citizen. Good luck. Larry Knecht Juneau

...access and recreation. I join you in wishing Mr. Brink good luck, although I believe luck has no part in the decision or implementation process unless it's confined to you giving Mr. Brink a fair chance. I hope so. Larry Knecht Juneau

...professional leadership team to carry on with the wise use of our public land. I trust the decisions of experienced professionals who have the integrity to stand up and defend their decisions to the public and to the politicians. Larry Knecht Juneau

...Make their phones ring off the hook. Attend the public meetings and voice your opinions. Yell if you have to. Larry Knecht Copyright © 1998 Southeastern Newspaper Corp. Comments or questions? Contact the Webmaster.
