<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Tom, Visionaries, Mayor Chaney, and Members of
the Moscow City Council via Stephanie Kalasz, City Clerk,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you, Tom, for bringing the passing of Pat
Kraut to our collective attention. I hope Mayor Chaney and the CIty Council will
mark her passing with a word of positive remembrance at an appropriate juncture
in a public meeting soon. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Her voice will be missed. I will miss her voice
most assuredly. She and I did not see eye to eye on many things but we
did on some... it is to her great credit and her big heart that she
and I could share our pride, among other topics, in our children and their
accomplishments... those Moscow High School products who are, as we speak,
around the world, as I write. Her son, Larry, in Egypt, doing great things in
education (if I remember correctly) and my son, Zach, in Tanzania this summer,
putting the bad guys away in the UN High Commission prosecution of war crimes in
Rwanda, as a second year law student from New
York... </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was very appreciative and impressed with her
loyal and positive commitment to the Community Conversations (1st Mondays each
month from June 2005 onwards to 2007) I organized during my last two
years on the City Council. I hope you will take time to look at this
agenda note that was typical of the sessions she attended and contributed to
with thought, spirit and zest,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>God rest her soul.</FONT></DIV>

<P>It is hard not to see and hear the hard, cold, sometimes abrasive, sometimes
unkind manner in many examples of public debate and discussion in Moscow
(nationally, too!). Is this positive? Does this further Moscow’s interests? Does
this advance the cause of those participating? Is there a way to disagree and
debate heart-felt issues while remaining respectful of the others in the
discussion? Are there some strategies one might consider in these
communications, given how passionately each of us holds some of our opinions?
Surely there is a way to have meaningful debate without caving into some ‘smiley
face/everything’s swell’ stereotype. Is there a civic ethic we could craft and
share that would help us all to raise the level of honest, forthright, public
dialogue?</P></FONT><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" size=2>

<DIV>Pat Kraut passed away Monday, June 2, 2008, in Moscow, after a quick
battle with lupus. She was 67. </DIV>
<DIV>She was born April 6, 1941, in Spokane, and given the name Patricia Marie
Cahill. Her parents were Richard and Edith Cahill. When she was 3 years old,
she climbed up on a stool to look out the window and see her daddy coming home
from work. Unfortunately it happened to be over the gas stove and it caught
her dress on fire. She was quickly burned over 50 percent of her body and
subsequently spent most of her childhood and teen years in Shriner's hospital
in Spokane, having surgery after surgery. However, she was never one to
complain. </DIV>
<DIV>She graduated from Rogers High School in Spokane in 1959 and spent time
working different jobs in Spokane including, for a while, at the historic
Davenport Hotel. In 1961, she married Daniel Kraut of Spokane and they were
quickly off to Georgia, where Dan spent some time in the Army. While there she
gave birth to their first child, Darren, and when their time in the military
was done they came back to Spokane. Soon, Dan found work in Moscow doing
sheet-metal construction and they moved. They then spent several years in
Moscow, where they had their next three children, Larry, Richard and Karen.
They then bought property on Moscow Mountain and built a house there, which
meant they were now residents of Troy, where they spent the next several
years. She began working for GTE where she was an old-fashioned telephone
operator. They divorced there in 1978 and after a couple of years the property
was sold and she moved the kids into the town of Troy, where the three boys
graduated from high school. In 1983, GTE transferred her to the office in
Coeur d'Alene, where she worked and lived until Karen graduated from high
school. She then moved back to Moscow and spent some time working. She even
went to Alaska one summer and worked in a fish cannery. She earned enough
money to begin paying her own way to college at the University of Idaho and
she ended up getting a degree in communications there. </DIV>
<DIV>During her time in Moscow, she became a member of the Moscow Nazarene
Church and spent the last several years there as the custodian. She loved
spending time with her grandkids (and helping Rich and Amy out all the time
with baby-sitting). Pat, or Gram Gram as her grandkids called her, loved her
kids and grandkids and was devoted to the Lord and the church. She was a
strong person and will be greatly missed by her friends and family. </DIV>
<DIV>She leaves behind four children, Darren Kraut of Monroe, Wash., Larry and
Priscilla Kraut of Cairo, Egypt, Rich and Amy Kraut of Walla Walla, and Chuck
and Karen Brockway of Twin Falls; one brother, Michael and Joleen Cahill of
Texas; two sisters, Becky Cahill of Portland, Ore., and Marylin Cahill of
Spokane; and eight grandkids, as well as countless friends. She was and is
greatly loved. She was preceded in death by both her parents. </DIV>
<DIV>A memorial service is scheduled for 4 p.m. Friday, June 6, at the Moscow
Church of the Nazarene. Inurnment will be at a later date in Spokane. </DIV>
<DIV>The family suggests memorials to the Church of the Nazarene Missions
Fund. </DIV>
<DIV>Short's Funeral Chapel of Moscow has been entrusted with arrangements.
