'Twas the Friday before Christmas and Hanukkah
Here's a little cheer for you
Despite the gruesome topic, it’s always a good day when one of my letters runs in the New York Post. If that wasn’t enough, here’s another dose of good cheer: Stu News Newport is publishing one of Bill Eddy’s latest sunset photos today. (Bill is a USC fraternity brother.) So, it truly is a good day. Happy Holidays to you and yours.
A tragic school shooting in Wisconsin: Letters to the Editor — Dec. 20, 2024
The Issue: This week’s fatal shootings at Abundant Life Christian School in Madison, Wis.
I can’t believe it has happened again (“Deadly Refrain,” Dec. 18).
Monday’s shooting in Madison, Wis., which left at least two dead and several wounded, came a couple days after the 12th anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Conn.
Dating back to when President Barack Obama was in office, each time there has been a school shooting, I have urged the sitting president to convene a gun-safety summit.
Fifty of my neighbors co-signed a letter to President Biden on the subject. I thought someone in the White House would respond. Unfortunately, no one ever did.
So now, another school shooting has occurred, leaving grieving parents and friends to wonder why. If you ask me, it didn’t have to happen.

It is about time to hear some really good news. It isn’t going to come from our government so it is going to have to come from us. I was so dismayed to hear what the owner of the LA Times is going to do to neutralize his feature writers. I have had my ( paper) subscription for at least 30 years, probably more, but if his plan goes through I will drop it. And Bezos is giving millions of dollars to Trump, so the New York Times it is!
