OPEN LETTER TO BOB HUNTER
Having been involved in the land-use debate for
some time now, I have had the opportunity to meet

people from many walks of life.

One of the observations | have made is that there
are some so-called ‘‘simple-minded’’ people who are
very smart, kind, open-minded, and have a knowledge
of the forests and the environment that you can’t gain
by reading books, but only through years of hands-on

experience.

I have also met some so-called ‘‘educated’’ people
who were rather stupid, callous, narrow-minded and

category.

you are part of the problem, not the solution. My ad-

talk, not preach, to the men and women who work in
the industry, about compromise and co-existence.

licensed prepaid duty parcels to the
U.S.S.R. This service came to an
abrupt end in 1984,

However, as a result of glasnost
and perestroika, this service has

again been resumed.

allowed through the Ukrainian
