I want to tell you about the kindest and most unselfish experience of my life.
When a lot of folks around the counties were without electricity, I called Fran Elkins to see if one of her vacation rentals might be vacant. She was full up.
She called a friend, Cynthia Grant, to see if she might have  
something for us.
Cynthia invited us to stay in her vacation rental house for as long as needed. This was such good news. Our granddaughter and a friend picked that time to visit with us for a number of days.

I offer my extreme gratitude to all the Asplundh workers out there.
These men have been out there in the unforgiving, scorching heat in the upper 90s, working harder than most of us have worked our entire lives for 16 to 19 hours a day to clean up all the downed trees and other debris, not to mention whole power line towers that have come down due to recent severe storms that have swept devastation through our area.

“The more things change, the more they remain the same.”
Running against then-President John Adams, Thomas Jefferson engaged in a despicable campaign of character attacks against President Adams.
Adams refused to respond to Jefferson’s abominable tactics in any way and therefore lost the election.
Will history repeat itself? Can any thinking person not see that mankind needs a Redeemer?

I was gratified to see the Readers’ Hotline item about how much the caller enjoyed “Cruisin’ & Groovin’ in Galax” on June 15.
We had at least 325 antique and classic vehicles and more than 4,000 people there, with wonderful music, vendors, balloons and beach balls, and lots of family fun.
While the band for that night, the Catalinas, was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and WBRF-WWWJ radio, the events are actually planned and coordinated by the Galax Downtown Association, your local merchants association.
