C.J. Woodward and Ken Tubbs write: “On the morning of May 6, we needed the help of medical and emergency services and was very lucky to live in Hood River County.

“We would like to thank the Hood River 911 dispatcher, Hood River and West Side Ambulance personnel and EMTs, Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital Emergency Room personnel and the Parkdale ambulance personnel. All of these individuals were very helpful, courteous and professional, and we are very fortunate to have them serving the Hood River County area. Thank you again for your service. You are very much appreciated.”
