Dear Editor,

This is a note of thanks to John McBride M.D. that should have come sooner.

We are so lucky to have such a fine physician as John McBride in our mountain community. He is the epitome of professionalism and excellence in medicine. Let us hope his strength of character, strong will and spirit will serve him well in his challenges ahead.

Thank you, Dr. McBride, for the many years of fine work my family has had the benefit of. May you and your family have the best of luck in the days to come.

With sincerity and respect.

Cathy Rehard, Oakhurst
