Thanks for help on Fegus County Rd. 606

 [ 03/30/2008 ]  It is unfortunate that I am unable to attend this (the 2008 annual membership) meeting, I so wanted to be there but circumstances that I have no control over have prevented me. However, I thought that I would express to the members my heartfelt thanks for all the help and encouraging words, and the monetary donations to help with the legal costs of County Road 606. To those who dare to stand up and fight for their rights to public access, I would say that above all things it is the research and organizing of the legal evidence that will prevail in the long haul.   more
