To The Editor: My house was flooded on May 18, 2021 with nine inches of water then on Oct. 14, 2021 with seven inches of water throughout my home.

To The Editor: Your column regarding the 100 years of The Record gave me many smiles, and then a bit of sadness. We officially bought our home here in December of 2009, yet didn’t move here till June 9, 2011.

To The Editor: I am a handicapped senior citizen, if you opened a door for me, (doors are hard if you are on a walker) if you reached for something for me in the store, if you helped me put my things on the checkout counter, if you helped me get things in my little red pickup, if you smiled at me and said “Hello.” Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God Bless you.
