Be honest about issues
To the editor: I had to laugh at the editorial headline “Now can we focus on issues” by the News Tribune.
Writer couldn’t read his own book
It’s done. Finally. I hope. Actually, it’s done for about the third time.
Uncle Fred occupied special place
Uncle Fred never looked better. At least, I’ve never seen him looking better. But then, I’ve never really seen him at all. Let me explain, or try to.
Process at post office is ridiculous
To the editor: This is about our postal system. For those of you who pay your bills yourself, send cards and letters, etc. Have you ever been charged for a bill that didn’t get to its destination on time or was “lost” in the mail, they say? I have.

Reader disappointed in coverage
To the editor: I was not surprised when Friday’s CBS news said former president Donald Trump lied in the debate but failed to mention that President Joe Biden also lied. That is typical of the Trump haters on CBS.

Fifty years. That’s a milestone for any marriage. And it’s a milestone my brother, Steve, and his wife, Beth, passed this month.
Young niece provided a reminder
It’s a standing joke at our house that we had our third child because we’d forgotten how much work the first two were.
Police, citizen thanked for help
To the editor: I am thankful for a Portland police officer and a concerned citizen who did the right thing.
Recorder caught history in the making
