Parade could be improved

To the editor:
I agree with the editorial Jack Ronald published July 7.
The 4th of July Parade in Portland could be improved by not letting cars park on the parade route. If it can be done in big cities, other small towns, then why not in Portland?
When my kids were little, a car was started up during the parade so they could have air conditioning and we could inhale the exhaust fumes.
I did solve the problem. I quit going to parades in Portland.
Thank you.

Thank you
To the editor: I would like to say thank you to the two angels who helped me on the evening of Jun 22.
God must have put them in the right place at the right time in order to help me. So ladies, if you see this, just know who thankful I was for the help.
