							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about

							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            | To all of you who helped with Connie Drake's benefit this past 
			Sunday: How is it 
			possible to thank you sufficiently for your time and effort? Words 
			are incapable of expressing our gratitude for your demonstration of 
			love for my dear wife. The evening was truly a time of love and 
			celebration. To see all who came from the community, the churches, 
			the university, the barbershop world and know that there are many 
			others who would like to have attended had they been able filled our 
			hearts to overflowing. Connie and I were amazed at the number of you 
			who came and shared. We will never forget your love and kindness. 
			God has blessed us abundantly! May God grant to you all 
			thanksgiving, comfort and joy! We love you!!
