Editor: Regarding an article written by (GRF) Treasurer Sandy Geffner (Aug. 7), I was so relieved when I learned that he would be taking over this position. He did an excellent job for our Mutual, and I know that GRF finances are in very safe hands. The article pointed out that minimum wage rose by 78% over a 10-year period while GRF wages rose by 51%. Minimum wage is a special case. Voters
