Letter: Supporting Magruder
I have known about the public service and integrity of Margaret Magruder and her family for many years, and during the past couple of years I have experienced it first hand. The Rainier Cemetery District board of directors, on which I serve, has experienced a lot of changes recently. Margaret has gone beyond the call of duty to attend many of our meetings, and has been very helpful and supportive. I have truly appreciative her willingness to make herself available, especially when she has so many other obligations. She is not only knowledgeable and experienced. She is incredibly dedicated to the people of Columbia County, and very kind. We are lucky to have her as a county commissioner, and I urge all voters to join me in re-electing her to another four-year term. Delyla Laughlin, Rainier
