Zehm coverage vital

Sun., Dec. 2, 2012

A bit late, but I feel The Spokesman-Review and, in particular, Doug Clark were instrumental in not allowing our community to forget the events that occurred following the Otto Zehm incident.

How quickly we forget, and thanks to Doug and The Spokesman your readers were reminded constantly until justice was done. I feel that this would have been swept under the carpet like so many other incidents if not for you.

Thank you for seeing this through to Karl Thompson Jr.’s trip to the west side of Washington.
