Letter to the Publisher,

Duane Wallace has been a friend of ours for over 20 years. During that time, we have agreed on many different issues and respectfully disagreed on others. However, the one passion we always agree on is the ongoing commitment to serve the children of our community.

Duane has devoted much of his time and energy working for the benefit of others. He has been involved in many different groups and organizations ranging from the Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation to coaching Pop Warner football and wrestling, just to name a few. Duane continues to be an advocate for the children in our community as exemplified by his long term involvement with after school programs such as the Boys and Girls Club. He was appointed to the LTUSD board because of his proven strong leadership skills, his ability to work well with others and his ongoing commitment to children.

Duane will always be an independent voice that we can depend on to make sound fiscal choices which will serve our school employees, our children, as well as our community at large.

We support Duane Wallace for the LTUSD School Board and encourage everyone to vote for him on Nov 3. A vote for Duane is a vote for our children, our schools and our community.

Janice Halpern-Segal and Harry Segal,

South Lake Tahoe
