Letter to the Editor

So long, old friends

Tuesday, February 19, 2008

Dear Editor,

As a long ago resident of McCook and a citizen who lived on East First St. near Norris Park, I was saddened to learn of the fate of the 44 "elderly" trees. However, I'm pleased to learn that the city considers the park a high priority in that plans include investing in younger trees immediately. Last September I was in McCook for a high school reunion and visited the park. I was very disappointed to see the deteriorating condition of McCook's war veteran memorial. Hopefully, restoration work will be planned for this very moving war memorial too. Gone, but not forgotten.

Respectfully,

Helen Herrmann Schreiber
