[Vision2020] Gritman's Community Service

[Carl Westberg]

Amen, Rose.  As one who has benefitted from Gritman Hospital's fine work, as 
have various family members over the generations, I couldn't agree more.  
And David Budge's post was spot on.   Ohmygosh, I just said something nice 
about a conservative libertarian.  The world's out of joint.
