Dear Mr. Womack, On behalf of Brenner Childrens Hospital, I want to thank you for the generous donation to the 2008 Harly- Davidson Toy Run. This gift will help to bring joy to our patients during the holidays. The support of the community is vital to the growth of the Childrens Hospital.

I just want to say thanks to you guys for helping the Triad take notice of me and the film, and it also helped bring out some great talent to the casting call this past Saturday [Local Talent; Rashone Washington; Dec. 10, 2008].

Jordan, Thanks for your informative article on the important Morton/Richardson/Mountains to Sea Trail project ["Undeveloped Guilford tracts could be used for trails"; Nov. 26, 2008; by Jordan Green]. It is rare to have all the stars aligned when this many players are involved.

Coble has voted with the Bush Administrations failed policies nearly 75 percent of the time, and his so-called criticism of the Iraq war has been only in word and not in deed.

How about periodically tossing in a piece by Randall Tex Cobb. He was in a couple of those [Chuck] Norris vehicles and seems to have shared much of the same wildly mis-informed philosophy. You remember they were invariably running around Laos on some Ross Perot-inspired manhunt for phantom POWs.

I am responding to Alexander Cockburn’s outrageous defense of Sarah Palin [“At least two cheers for Sarah Palin”; Sept. 10, 2008]. With her in charge, I can see very bad things happening to America. For starters, John McCain might decide to go into Iran and then he might die three months later.

I and residents of the Meadow Oaks community thank you for a doing a great article on our issues with developer, Scott Wallace [“Greensboro council overturns apartment decision”; July 23, 2008; by Jordan Green]. We knew he had given campaign contributions to some of the city council members, but not all the ones that you listed.

Chuck Norris’ column on America’s founding creationists [“America’s founding creationists”; July 16, 2008] appears to have kind of neglected the flip side of our founding fathers’ thoughts. Our history as expressed by many of our founders was one of staunch secularism.

As the past president of Destination Marketing Association of North Carolina, and someone who has known Bob McCoy for over 25 years, it is disheartening to see this happen to one of the most creative and dedicated tourism professionals in our state
