To the Editor:
Thank you Dr. Salard for saving my life, and the very professional and quick response to my recent heart attack. You stayed countless hours at WMC to make sure that I was stable and on my way to Seattle.
I appreciate your honest and forth right opinion on my options and not beating around the bush.
Thank you Sue Nelson, Diana Nore, Shelly and all the other nurses and staff that babysat me for those hours.
I read in the Sentinel that the board and administrator said Dr. Salard was a disruptive physician. Not what I have seen. Apparently those people were never around Dr. Davenport.
Dr. Salard, I didn’t see railroad tracks out of the administrator’s office or boardroom, but it looks like a first class railroad job to me.

Who on the Wrangell Medical Board is doing the continual harassment of Dr. Salard? If he has done something so terribly wrong, let the courts decide, not the WMC. It only takes one person to not like someone, or something they might have said, to cause that person all kinds of trouble, whether or not he has done anything.
Also, we believe that all board members should be present at your hearing, and that the “Fair Hearing Committee” should be open to the public. It is our hospital, and we should have a right to know what is going on in our town.
I feel like so many other people in town, that Dr. Salard is a fine physician and a good and honest husband and father. He has many patients who believe in him and we want the harassment to stop.
We need Dr. Salard in our hospital, with full privileges, and we need his family to be happy here.

RE: Mariners Memorial
Please incorporate Wrangell’s native history into the new memorial. The area where the memorial is to be built is near an old native burial ground.
The Tlingit people were in fact, Alaska’s first mariners.
