Dear Pam, I just read your commentary on Alzheimer’s disease published in the Richfield Reaper in Richfield, Utah. Thank you for providing your insight. I surely liked your writing style and looked for books you might have written, but I didn’t find any. I will surely look for your column next time I pick up a Reaper. Carlos Guerrero Richfield, Utah

It is a re-built power crosscut saw.

Letters to the Editor
Pam, I read your piece on honoring our heroes in the Richfield Reaper, and thought you’d enjoy this poem I wrote years ago when teaching… enjoy. Coach A Dennis Akren Murrieta, CA Veteran’s Day In November of 1919, President Wilson supposedly said.... reflect on “Armistice Day”, to honor World War I dead ! Our allies called it “Remembrance Day”, on November 11 of every year... as a tribute to our fallen warriors, for their blood, sweat and tears! Then in 1954, President Eisenhower renamed it “Veteran’s Day” to honor veterans from ALL U.S wars, in a very special way! We’ll have parades and speeches, and fly Old Glory high.... thanking our veteran heroes, for perserving our way of life! So on this day let us pause, with a genuine sense of gratitude.. honoring your devotion, and admiring your courageous attitude! You fought to defend freedom, and to strengthen our liberty... keeping us from harm’s way, while producing stability! We pray for your safety and well-being, for those alive or not.. there is no higher commitment, than giving it all you’ve got! Putting one’s life on the line, for humanity is quite noble.. the mission of universal freedom, has now gone global! So “Thank you” once again, would be proper to say... to anyone from the service, Happy “Veteran’s Day”!
