I am aware that Simi Valley is about to have an election again, and I just wanted to let people know something about Barbra Williamson and how she gets things done.

I have personally known Barbra for more than 30 years. I was a Simi resident from 1965 until 2003, when I moved to Utah.

I left a lot of friends in Simi, so I can still get a lot of the local happenings. I recently heard of some things going on at the local senior center and became concerned. After receiving several phone calls from friends I decided to call Barbra.

I told Barb what I had heard and asked her if she was aware of any of this, and she said, "No," but she would look into it. True to her word, she called several people within the city and had a meeting with several people from the center.

Hopefully the kinks will be worked out. Thanks, Barbra, for your quick attention to this; I know from the people that I have heard from that they appreciate you.

I get back to Simi about once a year, and I was there in December and was truly amazed at the growth. Simi is looking good. Melba A. Deas Riverdale, Utah
