<DIV>Moscow, we are feeling your pain and are praying for all those who are
hurting. Our thoughts go out to the families of officer Lee
Newbill, Paul Bauer, and Deputy Brannon Jordon. I have had many calls from
family and friends to see if I know what happened because we used to live in
Moscow. We attended the Presbyterian Church on Van Buren and remember that the
AA used to meet there on Saturday nights at that time. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would also like to commend Assistant Police Chief David Duke for not
releasing the name of the shooter. I hope there is no picture of him available
because it disturbs me to continually see the picture of the purp' splashed on
the TV and in the newspaper in these kinds of incidents and give them 10 times
more publicity than the victims. When Duncan was arrested in Coeur d'Alene I
wanted to throw something through the TV every time the stations in Spokane had
his picture on. Sometimes I think the news program directors are sick to
continually show/glorify the criminal. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Things like this were never supposed to happen in Moscow, Idaho where
everyone is friendly. Again I want to say are a class act in not revealing the
name of the shooter. </DIV>
