To the editor:

Two letters to the editor in the Sept. 6, 2018 edition of The Leelanau Enterprise require a response. Both letters seem to suggest that any citizen who supports (or politician who is supported by) President Trump lacks virtue and is morally corrupt.

To the editor:

Jack O’Malley has been a voice on the radio for the last 30 years. You could always count on him to be a straight shooter no matter what issue was raised on his show. He always asked the tough questions, and cut the flowery answers down to the hard facts. I know I can count on him to do the same down in Lansing.

To the editor:

Our beautiful national anthem, the Star Spangled Banner, still gives me goose bumps. Francis Scott Key penned these lyrics in 1814 during the battle of Fort M’Henry. Lyric lines such as “and the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air, gave proof through the night that our flag was still there” are powerful and moving.

School bells are ringing and there is homework to be done.

The feeling of not being in a room taking down notes and looking at a white board still hasn’t set for me.
