Dear Editor,
I would like to express my utmost appreciation for all the prayers, thoughts, concerns, visits, floral arrangements and food during my recent surgery and recuperation.
A very special thanks to the ICU at Crisp Regional Hospital in Cordele, Dr. Kevin Holloway of Cordele, SICU at Phoebe Putney Hospital, Dr. Francis Herrbold, Dr. Steven Wolinsky in Albany, Palmyra Hospital, along with Dr. Chargei in Albany and the Crisp County EMT staff.
Without the excellent and exceptional treatment during my heart attack and following surgeries, I feel certain my recovery would have been much longer.
We are indeed very fortunate to have these facilities in our city and region. To know they are there in time of need and particularly in times of medical emergencies is very comforting.
I am thankful and proud to live in our community.
Jean Burnette
City Manager

Editor:
I was in town (Cordele) last weekend for my husband’s 40th high school reunion, and it was interesting to see the interactions taking place among fellow classmates.
These students grew up in the 50’s and 60’s in Cordele and I heard many of them reminisce about the wonderful environment in which they grew up. It was a time when children could roam free, parents knew one another and they looked out for each other ‘s children. -
Implausible chickrabs
You will not believe it! Shoot, I wouldn’t believe it myself had I not observed the sight with my own eyes.
Yesterday was hot. I mean really hot with the humidity high and the temperature within a couple of degrees of 100 even after 8 p.m. when I began my daily run through the woods and fields of the backside. -

Share thoughts about war in Iraq
Now that combat troops have pulled out of Iraq, the Cordele Dispatch would like to hear how readers feel about the conflict. If you are from the Crisp, Dooly, Wilcox area and you served any time in that country, would you share your experiences and tell us if you think the country will succeed as a democratic nation?

Legislating morality: everybody is doing it
Without fail, when conservatives take a position on a moral concern, liberals will angrily assert, “You can’t legislate morality!”

Taking my own advice
If you’re like me, you probably enjoy handing out advice, both solicited and unsolicited. After all, those of us who have vast life experiences owe it to those with less experience to share our wisdom.

The most valuable gift
The Jewish Temple had many gates. One of them was called “Beautiful.”
Here a certain lame man sat each day because it was a well traveled area with people entering and exiting the temple constantly. Perhaps a kind soul would show mercy and drop a coin or two for him. -
Readers comment on 24th Ave.-Frontage Rd. traffic jam
Fortunately, I no longer have children attending CCHS that have to deal with this problem. I however think there could have been a better way of handling the road construction without completely closing the road.
