<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV class=RTE>Dave,</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>All I asked was what your background in ag was, since you seemed to be such an expert without giving any background.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Mine includes working with my in-laws for about ten years on their farm, and, yes, I am well aquainted with Dennis and the rest of the gang CTI.... I think I've even still got a jacket laying around here somewhere.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>In case you haven't noticed, farmers have been pulling back from over-chemigating their ground. The costs are too high and the profits too narrow to spend money unneccesarily.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Since you've brought up the old "my family has been here longer than yours" pissing contest, I'll point out that Donald MacKenzie was around these parts a bit earlier. See <EM>MacKenzie's Post and Fort Nez Perce, aka Fort Walla Walla. </EM>My grandmother is a MacKenzie of the same clan.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Please don't pull that whole, "white guy gone native" thing, lordy, it gets old. I've been to more than a few powwows, listened to the stories and read the history. I grew up around it, what with my father being an anthropologist, powwow dancer and such. (Go ahead and Google E.B. Eiselein/Speaks Lightning.)</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Oh, and my daughter's family has been here one hell of a lot longer than yours, too, she's half Couer d'Alene. Maybe next time she's home I should her question you? </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>Of course, all of this means absolutely nothing in today's world.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>With your self righteous attitude, I'm sure you'll win over plenty of people.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>And you still didn't name any businesses that have been around for as long as many of the area's farms.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>As for being buried in Latah County, my mortal coil is to be donated to science, if possible. If not, I am to be cremated and my ashes spread near Bitterroot Lake in Montana.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>You know, just another racist come and gone.</DIV>
