Orchids to …

• President Barack Obama for listening to experts so we didn’t have to learn Dr. Fauci’s name during the Ebola outbreak.

• teachers, because teaching is not a career, it’s a calling.

• Judy McCormick for her reasonable and well thought-out letter about the pandemic.

• St. Peter’s Lutheran Church Pastor Teike for the encouraging message and to the organist for playing the “Widor Taccata.”

• Judy McCormick for the voice of reason we finally heard concerning the pandemic as expressed in her letter Sunday morning.

• Darlitch Ford of North Vernon for the best deal I ever got on my new SUV, from Mr. Phelps of Columbus.

• Judy McCormick for her letter in Sunday’s paper stating we should stop blaming the leadership of our country and instead work together in fighting this virus.

• Wayne County for canceling its 4-H fair and being pro-life instead of pro-business.

• Judy McCormick for a very common sense letter in Sunday’s paper, it is a shame all the elected officials don’t have the same common sense.

Happy Birthday to …

• Pat Beatty, from your husband Mike, Viggi’s, Dairy Queen, and family.
