Thank you Lima News, in the last lonely newspaper in my empty mailbox, we find out after 80-plus years that there is a “Brother’s Day!” I’m sure we wouldn’t have found out this very important day existed had it not been for the printed edition of The Lima News on Wednesday, May 24.

Poor Senator Matt Huffman. How embarrassing it must be for him. A graduate of a private school, he is a huge proponent of using tax dollars to fund private school education. He touts the superior education of students learning the basics: reading, writing and arithmetic compared to public schools. It is a shame as an alumni he is a poor example of at least one of those basics: math.

An article last Friday entitled “Some Musings on Police Week” was supposed to commemorate and honor officers who fell in the line of duty and encourage law enforcement. However, the body of the article was somewhat disjointed, with innuendos of actions against law enforcement.

It was very interesting to read the thoughts of two parties in their letters to the editors recently. I carefully reread what I had written and then their replies and have been mulling over this reply.

My subscription to The Lima News runs out in late August, three months from now… or 90 papers from now. I had paid for seven papers per week when my subscription started. Now, I’m going to receive two papers a week until August.

Like many others, I have taken the daily and weekend delivery of The Lima News for several years. The puzzles are an important daily activity at my home.

I was a part of The Lima News for most of my life. I had five family members and me who worked there — three in the pressroom and three in what we called the mailroom, even thou it wasn’t mail.

In his May 20 letter, Carl Liechty lamented the fact that there were 40,000 gun deaths in the U.S. last year, a truly black mark on a nation of 330 million. His conclusion, based on his analysis, was that guns are the problem, not the mental health of the individual using the weapon.

The Mother’s Day week in Lima had so much to offer.

None of us avid readers of The Lima News enjoy losing our paper copy.
