My evaluation and judgment of him is that he is a very dedicated concerned knowledgeable ethical and informed citizen performing a vital service to southern Utah residents I always read the letters to The Reaper Some arc complimentary to our area some are not I would like to say there is no greater place on earth Although we in Sevier County arc not voters in his district he spoke to our residents alerting us to the dangers of the encroaching In the recent illness and death of our daughter Lorraine C Jensen I have never seen such an outpouring of love and kindness great and enduring government docs not cannibalize their young Go to war with your typewriter!

The yards on the way to work have armies of daffodils and tulips standing at attention as I drive by Oh some of them have reached their green arms out ot the ground and one or two stalwart souls that have poked their heads out and provided a hint of color But I don't have the brilliant border of bright color I thought I would I'm not sure w hen I went wrong I fed them a good shot of "Bloom and Grow" when I tucked them in in the fall Let's face it how much tending can one give bulbs buried in the ground in the middle of winter?
