Letters to Editor - bLetters

We welcome your opinion on public issues, in either of two ways. You can submit a letter to the editor for possible publication in the printed edition. The Virginian-Pilot welcomes letters to the editor on all topics, although concise letters (150 words or less) on public issues will receive priority. Letters may be edited for length, style and clarity and writers are limited to one published letter every month. Please add your name, city, street address and daytime telephone number for confirmation.

The other way is to comment on the published letters in this blog. In this online forum, you can comment as much as you want by using the comment box at the end of each entry.

Anniversary celebration

While standing in the line at Farm Fresh waiting to pay, a young lady ahead of me asked me what the beautiful roses were for. I told her they were for my wife on our 65th wedding anniversary.

When it came my turn to pay the cashier, I was told the young woman ahead of me had paid for my purchase. This type of spontaneous generosity, these days, is rare indeed.
