But what I am going to share with you is about a wonderful facility and the people that work in this place called Coulee Medical Center. This p...

This is about stewardship. I have always been impressed with the organizations and individuals who understand the need to preserve historic buildings in this area. The Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union immediately comes to mind. The way the CU has kept its headquarters, the old Columbia School, looking like it’s a new building — not bad for a building that was constructed in the 1930s.
