Gammel letter: Thank you

I would just like to say thank you to the Boise Police Department, Ada County sheriff, Boise County sheriff, Boise Fire Department, Boise Dive Team and the Ada County paramedics. These people have tough jobs and most of the time they are underappreciated by the people they serve every day. I cannot even begin to understand how difficult the morning of June 2 was for those who responded to the High Bridge at Lucky Peak Reservoir when a mother and her three children went into the water and lost their lives. I know this is something that will be with these guys the rest of their lives. So again, thank you for doing what others could not do. Thank you for being there when this community needs you. I appreciate each and every one of you. Be careful out there.

Larry Gammel, Meridian
