Victoria Gazette - Letters to the Editor

To the Editor:

I love your heartwarming, yet informative and honest paper. I apologize for missing annual payments. I hope you continue doing the Gazette. I realize it's been a very difficult year.

I am curious about a letter you received from people who had sold their home and stored their furnishings and bought a camper to find their new location. I would love to hear from them as Jim and I are now entering into a new chapter of our lives, too. God bless you, Sue.

EDITOR'S NOTE: If you email me, I can put you in touch. I know they've since sold their camper and purchased another home.

To the Editor:

Hi, Sue. Thank you for the paper. Really enjoy reading it. I love the column written by Mike Wartman. It is always a pleasure to read. Great paper. Keep on sending it. Found the fishhook on page 12 in the Ridgeview ad. Thanks again.

To the Editor:

My heart goes out to you and your family for the loss of your dear mother, especially now, with Mother's Day here. When you wrote about her, I felt I almost knew her, too, because our moms had so much in common. Being home in heaven now must truly be one of those things. We lost my sweet mom on January 17th, 2009. She would have been 100 years old on January 21st, 2009. A long and beautiful life.

Have a Blessed and Happy Mother's Day, Sue, and my thanks for your great Victoria Gazette. Take care.

To the Editor:

I had the privilege of knowing Ethel Ausink as a neighbor and respected friend during some of her time in Victoria. Ironically, the awesome sweet lady who lived across the street ultimately provided the house that my eldest son moved into years later. I'll never forget the fresh baked bread to thank us for helping clear a driveway or for my Christmas lights. Ethel provided numerous interesting and thought provoking columns to the Gazette, and her commentary was welcome perspective.

As someone who lived for over a century, her insights were of significance and merit. They challenged us all to become better citizens. God bless Ethel and her contributions to our fair city.

Hi, Sue. Heidi Hoks and I presented on the State of the Library at the May 13th Victoria City Council meeting. Let me know if you'd like to see the Power Point, which has a few numbers and lots of pix.

To the Editor:

Hi, Sue. I just learned that we only receive one copy of the Gazette and we would love to feature it for our guests at both locations. Can you please add both locations to your distribution list? Thanks.

Thank you so much for the continued opportunity to include our library submissions to the Gazette. I have enjoyed working with you. Victoria has been a wonderful community to serve. I am passing the torch to Patrick Jones for your July issue. Thanks again.
