Editor's note: The following letter was accidentally omitted from Thursday's Grundy Register and is printed online because of that omission.
 
To the editor,
This coming School Board Election is very important for the future of our school. Over the last few years I've watch Bob Johanns exhibit professionalism at the School Board Meetings. He has shown keen interest in the School District, staff and the students. He's always been well prepared for the School Board meetings.
I urge you to support Bob Johanns and John Gordon.
