The people who daily serve Winston-Salem, day in and day out in public service - and their families who suffer the risk of always worrying - you are the heroes.

On the average, two persons per day use the service to Denver, ... We'd like to see four people per flight.

This city, more than any other I dealt with, sent people again and again and again, ... When you people came up, you worked very hard. I saw exhaustion on the faces. I saw them come back at night and cry.

Our sense is that people don't have enough put away for a rainy day.

We?d like to be able to implement different ways of looking at the service that we need, but the truth is, if the businesses that do this are not yet prepared to bid on those methods, when the industry has not reached the point you?re at yet, we have little choice.

If I am successful, I see this as the last chapter in my public service to Oregon.
