Anonymous The Cordele Dispatch Thu Jul 02, 2009, 09:03 AM EDT

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

Mr. Man is peculiar
Men are peculiar creatures. I suppose, now that I’ve laid that provocative declaration on the table, you’ll want solid proof to back it up, though proving it will not be a difficult task; all I have to do is point to…Mr. Man.

Life, liberty, and .….accessories?
Spartanburg, South Carolina, is not the cultural center of the universe. I am qualified to make that statement based on my experiences in Spartanburg which include The Hearon Traffic Circle, The Midnight Sun, and Wofford College.

Mr. Man and childhood obesity
Mr. Man has a fat grandson. The kid lives in Texas, so we rarely see him, but according to pictures on Facebook, he is fat.

Life, liberty, and .….springtime?
Spring is officially here. I don’t care about the calendar, the baseball season, the basketball playoffs, Easter, when the Confederate Jasmine blooms, when the robins come through, when the sand hill cranes fly, or what the temperature does.

Victim thanks officers
(A story about a robbery at gunpoint ran in Thursday’s Cordele Dispatch. As is the paper’s policy, the victim was not identified. He submitted a letter of thanks, but asked that he still not be identified.
We are honoring his request because of the circumstances. Sheriff Donnie Haralson and other officers know who he is).

Life, liberty, and …vacations?
Vacations are a time to get away and escape the humdrum of your normal life. Some couples I know like to take a trip about once a quarter, just get out of town.
