To The Eagle:

To my Secret Santa,

The card says who or why is not important. Learn something new every day. Let this be your guide. Pay it forward. Find joy in what you do.

My lesson learned is humility! Although I have a lot of curiosity, you are right. The who and why are not important.

The road of life led me to Cathlamet in early 2011. It has been easy to become part of this community and I have been welcomed with open arms and made many great friends through my time with Tsuga Gallery, the library, Wags and Vibes and my neighbors.

I thank all of you and especially my very generous Secret Santa.

Dan Tchozewski, Puget Island
