Your view: A NAMB fan
(Letter to the Editor ~ 11/13/06)
To whom it may concern, I am writing today because I am very upset that my favorite column was not in yesterdays paper.. I love the Nobody asked me column, it is why I read the paper on Wednesday. Chris Moore is a great writer and I love that he doesn't sugar-coat his column.. I love that he has a open mind and that he is free to write what he feels.. I hope that the column is back in next weeks paper, if not I and a few others that I know will be very disappointed yet again.. Sincerely...
