A Fierce Determination
Dear Editor: I had the pleasure of meeting Jessica when she was a baby (“Let Them Speak: Never Be Afraid of Being Yourself,” May 19). She trusted me enough to let me hold her; but I was told to lay her head on the table because she had no control, nor the ability to, lift it or move it on her own.
One of the Best
Dear Editor: Mr. Cloonen is one of the best teachers in the world, if you have him as a teacher he makes Health class fun (“Dream Come True for New McClancy Coach,” May 4). Mr. Cloonen brightens up everyone’s day, that’s my boy.

Dear Editor: Another great event organized by John Bonanno (“Former Jets Kickoff Flag Football Season,” April 6)!
Abortion and Politics
Dear Editor: Vote Democratic – kill babies! Sound a bit harsh? But it’s the truth isn’t it? Look at the officials that the anti-Trump voters elected into office. Now we have Democratic representatives who have no difficulty slaughtering a child that survives an abortion. Those are the facts plain and simple. I wonder how many […]
Proud of Peter Damour
Dear Editor: This young man graduated from Saint Francis Xavier School (“Catholic Youth Minister Leads Teens Closer To Christ,” March 23). We are so very proud of his accomplishments!
