I wish 1 could have done more
To the editor:
1 \\ .int to let you know that we have some wonder
ful people in this tow n... they have things that they would
like to talk about, but don’t have anyone who will come
out on the sidewalk, in the café, the service station and get
their opinion about anything.
1 spend one day with a petition, on which I received
27 names against the health facility. I didn’t get that peti
tion turned into the council at the last meeting, as I wasn’t
told that they were going to vote, and I became ill from
the heat and couldn’t attend and didn’t have anyone to
take it for me.
1 wish 1 could have done more for these people,
but one thing about it, 1 will never forget each and every
one of them.
