Dear Editor, Two ordinary events lead to the recall of many great youthful memories. Recently my father, James Lewis, known to his family as Jimmy, found two vintage bowling shirts packed away and received an announcement for the Lake Orion all-class reunion scheduled for June 19, 2019. Jim Lewis is a 1949 graduate of Lake […]

Well, the rain in Michigan has temporarily stopped as we await the next opening of the clouds. As I sit here in our Lake Orion home, I have some rambling thoughts to share with you.

TThat would be my advice to the conservative and G.O.P. leaders. The voters are fed up with your garbage. The Democrats are doing their jobs.

A recent Facebook post featured a picture of a statue created by Jerry Anderson titled “Come unto me.” The statue features an aged woman knocking on death’s door.

Very one-sided When it comes to pro-lifers, they always seem to put the blame on the women who are pregnant and seeking an abortion, but never a word on the men who get them pregnant and leave them. Why aren’t they protesting in front of the men’s homes like they do in front of clinics? […]
