Many helped following accident

To the Editor:

I would like to thank everyone for all their kindness shown to me and my family since my accident.

The area churches for their cards, prayers and fruit baskets for the holidays, and the wonderful group of ladies from the Son Shine Shop for taking over and doing a great job.

My appreciation is so great for these ladies who give their time and talent to give the community a place to go in times of trouble and need. God bless you.

Thank you to everyone who sent cards, called or visited, because these things all mean so much.

National Athem gets a failing grade

To the Editor:

Super Bowl 45:

* National Anthem grade -- F

* Halftime entertainment grade -- F

My teen age granddaughter does an excellent job on the National Anthem. Maybe they should hire her and eliminate the costs involved.

Maybe next year, in Indianapolis.
