I hope all enjoyed this sunny Veteran's Day today, which also happened to be
the two-month anniversary of the Sept. 11th attack. Hopefully our
elementary and secondary teachers will spend some time discussing the
holiday and it's deeper meanings with our children this week.

Actually, the greatest loss of housing was on Becky Yanish'
watch. It was Becky with a bulldozer for the four years (I
think) that she held Cramer's position. Cramer came in
saying there would be no more tearing down housing
willy-nilly; whether he kept to that statement or not I
don't know.
