I want to give a huge Thank You to Mary Tomlinson, Rick Rienks and Ritha Wilcox for their letters to the editor published Aug. 28. Finally a breath of fresh air from three people, only one of them I know personally. I have had different people from time to time ask me to write more letters, and I always answer the same. “You get tired of talking to a tree or a brick wall,” and that is why I pretty much keep to myself in my golden years. However as of late I read what some of our so-called community leaders pass on as their warped sense of truth and expect any intelligent person to agree with them.

Now today my faith has been somewhat restored with just three letters which I would encourage all citizens to read. Now I’ll go back to my garden patio which is always refreshing to the mind, flowers, birds and solitude. Peace and love to all of you who still believe in science.
