Dear Dave and Sue:
Please accept our sincere appreciation for the excellent services you provided during the recent Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range gather effort. We realize we had developed a program of selective removal and containment which was somewhat different than standard procedures, and we were very impressed with both your willingness and ability to perform these services. We felt your level of professionalism and competence was of the highest caliber and contributed unmeasurably to the success of our operation.
The sensitive and controversial nature of this round-up was heightened by “fear of the unknown” in using helicopters for the first time in a gather on the Pryors. This, coupled with the attention from a varied contingent of media and public interest groups, made working conditions stressful to say the least. The crew which you assembled to perform these services, however, responded as highly trained professionals and handled themselves in an exemplary manner.
We appreciate the opportunity to have benefited from your expertise, as we feel that without doubt, we were exposed to one of the very best contracting services available. Your efforts helped take the Pryor gather effort into a new era of technology and have paved the way for continuing success in our management of the range. Thank you very much for an excellent job!
Sincerely,
Area Manager
Linda Coates-Markle
