To the editor:

The Bainbridge Island Ambulance Association is one of the most highly respected and cherished organizations on the island. I have only heard rave reviews about them. Their people are very highly trained and they provide a vital function on this island.

I was shocked when I read in your paper about the effort to replace them. Why would we destroy a wonderful asset for our community and replace it with something else. Dr. Keyes and all the volunteers of the Ambulance Association strive to provide the best possible emergency services they can at the lowest possible cost. I and everyone that I know are very much against replacing them.
