Dear Editor,
I read all the letters to the editor and was impressed with both the subject matter and the letters from the students. My thanks to the instructor and the students. Hope to see more opinions on more subjects in the future.
To THE PUBLIC: Don’t sell our young people short. We have some very fine citizens coming of age, open your minds to their point of view.
Thank You
