Editor,

As much as I feel sorry for those who were laid off, I now see the truth of the phrase Jets=Jobs, the converse is also so true.

Too bad, Oak Harbor never realized the fact that placing all your eggs in one Navy base is not a good idea.

Former Mayor Jim Slowik, think it’s time to diversify? Lots of good solid jobs that don’t lay people with a family off might be a nice idea for your town. Come on down to Coupeville, we’ll show you how it’s done. We’re friendly.
