Editor,

Thank you so much for printing Ron Newberry’s excellent article on the uncertain fate of Coupeville’s 1866 Haller House. As the house approaches its 150th anniversary, we hope it has many years of worthy community service ahead of it.

Since the article does not inform the interested reader how to help contribute to the cause, we would be grateful if you could publish our website and mailing addresses where donations may be made.

Historic Whidbey, P.O. Box 1123, Coupeville, WA 98239. www.historicwhidbey.org

Our sincere gratitude to you for bringing Historic Whidbey’s cause to the public. They aren’t making any more grand pioneer houses; once they are gone, they can never be restored.

Lynn Hyde
