The following e-mail message was sent to WDFW Enforcement Officer Ryan Valentine From: Eric and Karen Mittet To: WDFW Enforcement Officer Ryan Valentine Date: 06/22/2005 Dear Officer Valentine, My father-in-law took our three sons fishing at Lake Padden this past Saturday and, while doing so, you came by and gave each of our boys a Junior Fishing License as well as a talk about the importance of being a responsible fisherman. My father-in-law was extremely impressed with your professionalism and the kind manner in which you approached our children. He felt that you made a strong impact on our boys about the importance of respecting wildlife and their environment. We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to you for taking the time to educate the children in our community. The State Department of Fish and Wildlife is very fortunate to have an officer like you! Thank you again!
