Letter to the Editor: Support OUR Museums

Letter to the Editor by, William Ganong, Klamath Falls
It is not surprising that to Representative Eric Werner Reschke the Klamath County Museums are just good museums. Representative Werner was born in California and raised, educated, and worked most of his life in the Portland/Willamette Valley area. It wasn’t until he started his political career that he moved to Klamath County. He has no roots in Klamath County, no appreciation of the true value of our museums.
