To the Editor: Your unique publication gives many people pleasure. You may find the attached comments about "Things to Treasure" enjoyable reading ... "I grew up in the fifties with practical parents -- a mother, God bless her, who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then reused it, and a father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones. "They weren't poor, my parents, they were just satisfied. It was a time for fixing things -- a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress. Things you keep. It was a way of life, refixing, reheating, renewing. "But then my father died, and on that clear autumn night, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes what you care about most gets all used up and goes away, never to return." Mal MacAlpine Victoria, Minnesota
To the Editor: Greetings to all golfers. I'm writing this from Florida. No, I'm not involved in the political primary going on down here, though I was in South Carolina last week when the primary was happening there, too. Sort of weird being constantly bombarded with political ads everywhere I go. On a much nicer note, I've been in Orlando for the Merchandiser's Convention and the PGA Show. This has been the liveliest show since 9/ 11. Something good is going on and I think I know what it is. It's youth. People in their 20's and 30's are running golf companies and bringing an energy and excitement that has been much needed. Unlike the worn-out political rhetoric that I've been listening to, these kids are bringing fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and confidence to the golf business. I can't wait to show you what we've bought for the Pro Shop. We're plugging into this youthful resurgence. I can feel it's going to be a great year. Tom Abts, GM and Head Golf Pro Deer Run Golf Club Victoria, Minnesota
Hey, Mom. Did you get a picture of Lil's Diner on Main Street Tioga when you were here? That's why Chris and I each have four-wheel drive pickup trucks. It's what people drive out here. We wouldn't feel safe in a normal car, and cars wouldn't easily survive this kind of life. Thank you for coming and helping. Love you. Jenny Norgaard Tioga, North Dakota |
