Dear editor,

When I was a young boy during WW II, we had two framed pictures on our living room walls: Franklin Roosevelt and Jesus. My parents held one almost as high as the other. Everyone we knew had an FDR picture displayed similarly. By the time I was in high school and college, there was Eisenhower and the GOP and other ideas to consider. Later came John Kennedy’s New Frontier and LBJ’s Great Society and War on Poverty. Each of these democrat-party programs might have been well-intentioned. Each of them failed. After Nixon and his scandals, military debacles, etc., we suffered almost two decades of Clinton and Obama bad governance and corruption. We survived as a nation. Then came Trump.

To the citizens of Freestone County,

Dear Editor,

Freestone County Commissioners Court hides behind the fact that they meet during the day when the people they should be representing are working. The court needs to meet on a specific night every month that does not change and set a specific time for citizens to get on the agenda, so the court can act on their requests. Call your commissioner and the judge and tell them you want this changed. Don't make Cinnamon bear this alone and do not do useless things like post "you go girl" that does nothing. Call, complain and participate in YOUR government!

My heartfelt thanks to all of the VFDs in Freestone County:

Have you ever had a short Fire Department Captain walk up to you and say "Get out of your house!" I did and I was glad and was made to feel very thankful. We had an experience at my home in Lakewood that I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Dear editor,

I had predicted that when the Mayor, City Administrator, and the Cartel had changed everything up on Market Days that it would truly be a big flop. They felt like if they got rid of my wife as Market Days Coordinator that I would quit writing to the editor. I truly feel like they did not like to hear the truth about our city business.
