Message:

Chief Barbara "Little Star" Simeroth

I would like to thank each and every one of you for being there to support and help me through the passing years. I have gained a lot of knowledge and have been able to meet a lot of people who I consider very good friends. I will not be leaving - simply changing positions. I feel that it is time for some new changes and change can be very good for everyone. I want to thank Leuwanna for always standing beside me and keeping peace among everyone. She is a very special lady and I love her very much. I want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to be your Chief.
