Issue: Jobs Plus marks a strong year: Kootenai County jobs grew by 3,100 last year, state says/Becky Kramer, SR.

DFO: I was at the old Holiday Inn (Coeur d'Alene Inn) when Jobs Plus was launched by Duane Hagadone, Tom Richards and Dennis Wheeler. And I was at Jacklin Seed Co. when Bob Potter was introduced as the first Jobs Plus prez.
