Letters mother-in- Dear Editor: It was my great pleasure, approximately 15 years ago, to discover the Fairview Museum. I have returned frequently through the years to enjoy this historic monument to the industry of, not only the pioneers of Sanpete County, but the current caretakers and their accomplishments and dedication. w I thrill to recognize the continued dedication and hard work of those who give so much of their time and talents to preserve those treasure of our past, that would otherwise have vanished forever. We cannot know where we are going, without knowing where we came from. The obvious improvements of the past few years will surely be noted by the many visitors who come to to see the museum. It can be recognized as legacy to the West. It is wonderful! Many of us are looking forward to returning to see the new addition. Congratulations on your many accomplishments.
