EDITOR:
Just wanted to tell you that I had almost decided not to renew my subscription to The Landmark but after reading your (March 22) edition I knew that no way could I not know what is going on in Platte County.
Doesn’t matter that soon I will be 99 years old. I still want to know what is happening in the world and in Platte County. Body may be old, brain not (yet).
I lived in Platte County 62 years, loved every minute, became a part of its progress and growth in my small way. I am thankful that I was privileged to do it.
I would miss reading about the progress that has been made since I left almost five years ago. I would miss the intrigue of its politics. I would miss Commissioner Wood’s stupidity. I would have missed the unbelievable action of the county commissioners’ decision not be available to the citizens of Platte County, thankfully that has now been changed? That shocked me! When I was on the county commission, we would have never done that.
I remember your coming up to our office. You liked to talk to Max Hunt. Also, we were there most of the time. Not like now.
So, I am once again subscribing to your Landmark for the many articles in it that I so enjoy and learn from, especially your editorial.
