Letters

 So many letters being with “I meant to write this sooner.” So does this one.

 May is Foster Care Awareness Month. Many thing know of foster care, but few really understand how the system works, the role of the foster parents and most importantly, the experience of the children and youth in care.

 I am writing to encourage your readers to re-elect Layne Abell as the Bullitt Circuit Court Clerk. Layne has done an outstanding job in his duties and in maintaining a high-quality staff and service-oriented office. He is well respected by members of the judicial system throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I am very proud to support Layne in his bid for re-election and hope your readers will do the same on May 22!

I’ve lived on Valley View Drive for 36 years. Steve Plenge and Ted Korfhage and their families welcomed me into the neighborhood, and have treated me like family ever since. We have shared chores, equipment, laughs and tears over the fast few decades. We’ve shared the ups and downs that all of us go through in life.
