Show Standard-Examin- er Saturday Nov 4 1989 1 1 A Letters Full responsibility for Two years ago Sneddon letter accepted wrote my first letter to the editor It was about the ’87 Ogden mayoral race and my questioning of candidate I Scott Sneddon's ability I hadn't planned to get involved but two of my best friends felt the need to voice their concerns They felt as I did that Scott Sneddon wasn’t the best man for the job Mr Sneddon had been our alleged librarian at Ogden High before we graduated What finally prompted me to write a letter and get in- prank Sort of ironic I thought Well on Oct 30 my father a respected attorney had a late visit from a police officer He had a complaint from Mr Sneddon about some stolen signs Five or six signs disappear and Mr Sneddon knows where they are and who did the dastardly crime How did he know? I have no idea But it seems curious to me The officer took the signs and I thought it was over I was wrong At 7:30 am the next day my dad volved was Mr Sneddon’s behavreceived a call from another cop ior after Ryan and Kenton’s letter about the follow up investigation got printed Mr Sneddon called Don’t the police have better Ryan’s dad Dr Brady to comthings to do than harass my dad plain early in the morning about this I thought it was a damn poor “crime of the century”? I have since found out that Mr thing to do so I vvu le my letter After the election I didn't think Sneddon thinks Mayor Goff put much about it But it seems Mr me up to writing the first letter Sneddon did This year since I Let me set the record straight I was safe in Salt Lake City he myself wrote the first letter all went after my parents in Ogden ' by my lonesome I am writing A few weeks ago a couple of this letter And I think Mr Sned“Elect Sneddon” signs appeared don’s conduct is inexcusable Is on my parent’s front lawn It this the type of man Ogden needs turns out that someone had colas its mayor? I hope not lected them and left them on my Nathan F Coombs parent's lawn one night Some kind of neighborhood kid’s Salt Lake City Schade promises to help city progress This was my first experience in a political race It was very educational enjoyable and enlightening I had an opportunity to visit with the citizens of Og- den and listen to their concerns and feelings for our city Ogden has many challenges and opportunities that will develop our community I hope that our city government will adhere to these challenges for continued growth of Ogden In running a campaign you need help and support I appreciate those who assisted me The support by my family and friends was great Words can’t express Olympics: It I’m in construction the years jobs are available families can afford purchases that give an clothiers opportunity to express my support for pryahu Schade candidate for city council ward three and would encourage those who voted for me in the primary to vote for Bryan In my opinion he is the best qualified person for this position Bryan is concerned about our need and will act in a positive way for the growth of Ogden We need Bryan Schade as a city councilman for a progressive community C Doug Stephens Ogden takes money to make money business I feel the new jobs that will be created as we prepare for the international Olympics will give construction a boost we haven’t seen in this state for When my appreciation for your hard work and support Also I would like to take this economic boost retailers auto and to hotels will make money from the Olympics Balon6y!
