LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Tone

down rhetoric and look for some answers

I have written a

few times in the past and always said that I am on no one's side in

the ongoing battles we face in Peachtree City. My past letters have

found me on the opposite side of City Hall; this time I find myself

somewhere in the middle. I am writing to talk about the traffic situation

at Ga. highways 54 and 74 and the tone of the discourse we are conducting

in Peachtree City and Fayette County. I ask your forgiveness for my

long-windedness.

Fayette

Christians should renounce Confederacy

In light of our

recent Presidential debates, I hope I'm given my "two minutes"

to respond. I read the articles of the persons that responded to my

letter to the editor and in part wish to offer additional comments to

all of them, specific and general.

Proposed

PTC burn building is a necessity

recent Presidential debates, I hope I'm given my "two minutes"

Why

I joined Confederate Veterans

First and maybe

most important, I AM a great-great-grandson of seven Confederate veterans,

and a great-great-great-grandson of seven more Confederate veterans.

I am a son of Confederate veterans by direct lineage and genealogy.

It is my birthright and heritage. The blood of these Confederate soldiers

runs in my veins and those of my descendants.

Correcting

a typo in letter

My letter concerning

the sudden departure of Harold Bost from the commission that was printed

in the April 25 edition contains a typo error. Mr. Bost actually has

served about 8 percent of his elected term. My letter indicated that

he had served less than 1 percent of this term when I meant it to read

less than 10 percent.
