Hospital Helipad

Re “Boy Scout Builds Hospital Helipad in Eagle Pursuit,” May 31.

I would like to thank the following sponsors for their generous donations that supplied building materials and food for the concrete helicopter pad at Santa Paula Hospital. Without them this project would have never been completed:

State Ready Mix, Vega Melding, Southern Pacific Milling, Terry Lumber, Concrete Tie, Tia Babe’s Mexican Food, Round Table Pizza (Santa Paula), Great Central Steak & Hogie (Santa Paula), Sparkletts Water, Arrowhead Water, Coca-Cola, J.W. Toilets, B.F.I. Toilets, Signs Now! and Green Thumb.

I would also like to thank the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department for a spectacular landing and takeoff.

And a special thanks to my grandpa, Dave Garcia, my father, Steve Walker, my late mother, Amanda Walker, family, friends, Boy Scouts and countless scores of volunteers.
