SN bus letter tells truthful tale

I agree entirely with Kathryn Feeley’s letter about the Capital Area Transportation Authority service on route 20-S (“Bus service slow transporting ‘U,’” SN 11/8).

Football teaches life lessons

This letter is in response to Greg Brown’s letter about high school football (“Football is killing country’s youth,” SN 11/6).

Unfortunate incidences happen in all areas of life - work, play and even academics.
