Duncan - This weekend, I had occasion to exchange emails and speak with David Slade on the telephone.
You may recall that David penned a "Special to the Citizen" on solar energy in the April 29 edition, which I rebutted in my letter that appeared in The Citizen's May 6 number.I find that Mr. Slade and I agree on a number of points and that I was quite incorrect to suggest that he had a financial connection to installing panels here in the Cowichan. He is a strong proponent of solar but has advised me that he has absolutely no financial stake in any solar installations aside from the ones on his barn roof.I apologize, David, such being the case, I was clearly off-side and happily withdraw my comment. You are doing many good things in our Valley; your sentiments and efforts are to be commended.L.M. ThomsonDuncan
