[Vision2020] Sell-Outs: Senator Gary Schroeder and Moscow City

[Tom Hansen]

Exactly.

Although I am not a Moscow native, I fell in love with Moscow when I first 
transferred to UI from North Idaho College in 1992.  It was the sense of 
community consciousness/security and that "down home" feeling of "the 
neighborhood" that was, and still is, prevalent in Moscow; the same sense 
and feeling I hadn't experienced since growing up in Los Angeles in the 
late 50s and early- to mid-60s.  Like I had told the Daily News when they 
did a "Sidewalk Series" (or something like that) on me last year . . . "I 
am going to die of old age in Idaho."

Why I selected to retire from the Army in Idaho . . .

Simple.  My wife was born just outside Coeur d'Alene and pretty much grew 
up in Moscow.  That's her (Rodna Moore) on page 53 of the 1965 Bear Tracks 
MHS yearbook.

Just for memory's sake of Moscow over the years, crank up your speakers 
for . . .

Don't let Moscow degenerate to a series of If-you've-seen-one-you've-seen-
em-all strip malls.  You're better than that, Moscow.
