To the editor:

I first met Ron Peltier in the 1970s. We shared ideas about photography, the arts and building. We were all beginning to build homes, gardens and families.

I was raised on the West Coast, moving from one home to another, never having a real sense of place. I now know that growing a “home” and “neighborhood” takes time and care and most of all a love for the place and a will to preserve it.

Ron knows these ideas. His approach to community and family has always been thoughtful and considerate. In my eyes he was a good friend and neighbor.

Ron would be an excellent council member. He is smart, open and fair. I know he is committed to sustaining this “place” and maintaining it as our home and the home of our children and their children.
