Having been an Enumclaw resident for sixty eight years, and a reader of our community paper, I do not recall a time in past wheres when vicious political combat dominated the Letters to the Editor section. I never felt compelled to draw attention to myself or my opinions by submitting anything until now.

Apparently, someone sharing my name has participated in this government-slamming during the past couple of years via the Courier-Herald. As a result, I finally decided to define myself in the event that any of my friends or relatives wonder if I have completely lost my mind. I do not opine regarding politics via the Courier-Herald or any other publication.
