Wow it really rained a lot this spring didn't it? OK that was easy to agree on. Ever notice these days how many things people seem to disagree on?

DOGS: Oppose BSL movements

This letter is in regard to the letter from Jim Mathey on Jan. 21. First, I’d like to say I’m very sorry for what happened to the other letter carrier being attacked. My prayers go out to her.

In regard to Chris Leblanc's letter regarding the closure of Sherman Avenue for the "kids and dogs parade:" I distinctly remember, back in the ‘60s, my cousin and I, with the help of a couple of boxes found behind Runge's Furniture and some paint, turning ourselves into a pair of dice to march in what I recall as the Kiddie Parade. We were quite proud of our creative endeavor and had a lot of fun. The torch has since been passed to two more generations.
