In reading Mr. Ufkes’ letter to the editor in the Nov. 25th issue, I would like to make some comments.

It would appear that the people who voted elected the person they wanted to have those positions. Mr. Ufkes implies that there was some hanky panky from Mr. Curry. Mr. Curry has done an excellent job with the school and has the schools of Highline foremost in his interest.

Mr. Ufkes states that Ms. Savusa was voted out and that should not have happened. I’m sure that Ms. Savusa has done a good job in her capacity on the school board, but apparently the voters felt a change was in order.

Mr. Ufkes takes a different view, therefore, he concludes there was something wrong with the election. Mr. Curry did donate money to rebuild the track at Evergreen High School, but, it was also paid for by grant money. As most people know, it takes considerable time for grants to process & reach the point where money is awarded.

As for the dedication of the new track, I’m sure that the school picked the time and date, not Mr. Curry. I’m sorry that Mr. Ufkes thinks there was some sneaky planning involved with this. I’m sure that Mr. Curry planned to donate to the track before he ever decided to run for the school board.

Mr. Curry is a classic example of the type of person we need in support of our schools. It is not Mr. Curry’s fault that the voters did not elect or vote for Mr. Ufkes’ choice for the school board. I think Mr. Ufkes owes Mr. Curry an apology for his comments and accusations.
