Tanners say farewell

After a blissful and tranquil four years in the Grand Coulee area, I have retired from Coulee Medical Center, will be released as bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, plan to move closer to our family near Vancouver, Wash., and submit our papers for a church mission.

These are major changes for the Tanners, but we know life is filled with changes. We have seen changes here starting with the rebuilding of the bus barn after a fire and ending with the building of Coulee Medical Center!

In between we have a lot of great memories sharing our surroundings with family members: the majestic Coulee Dam with its laser show and Fourth of July fireworks, the Colorama festivities and walk/run over the dam, the picnicking at Steamboat Rock and Spring Canyon!

Even more impressive have been the people we have met, worked with, served with at the hospital, Rotary, Chamber of Commerce, CMC Guild, Pastors Group, and many faithful church members! To all of you, Thank You, for all the memories!
