<div>I kind of assumed from your email handle that you had retired.

<div><br></div>
<div>But you really believe that immigration in the Valley is a larger
issue than whether the region's largest private employer stays in
business? Better cash out that pension now before it evaporates.</div>

with higher selling prices for paperboard and increased pulp shipments
