Dear Editor,

I would like to extend my thanks to the staff of your local Hospital (N.V.H) for their actions this past Christmas eve. A passenger aboard the Canadian tour bus I was driving to Spokane, was stricken with an acute medical condition as I approached Tonasket. The response of the N.V.H staff to our unannounced arrival (from the desk clerks to the medical staff) was incredible! Your citizens are obviously well served by these professionals as well!

Thanks again and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all… (Sorry about the temporarily double parked bus on your main street!) Peter (Canada West Coachlines).
