[StBernard] Jer

[Westley Annis]

John,
 
I don't have an issue with jer's comments or people like him that express
their opinions.  However, the more pressing question is what has he, and
others like yourself who no longer live in StB done to help with the
recovery or improve the quality of life of those who have chosen to return.
Maybe you have helped or contributed in some way.  If that's the case, than
thanks.  
 
Many say that it won't be the same and that's a true statement.  But nothing
says it can't be better.  This parish has given so much to people like me
and you who have grown up here.  The difference between us is where we live,
not how we feel about StB.  

So for those of you who find deficiencies and areas that are in need of
help, give us some suggestions or better yet, roll up your sleeves get
involved in rebuilding the playground, plant a tree or help a neighbor who
has decided to return.  This is what StB needs and it's not a lot to ask for
a community that has given so much to all of us.

Take care,

Howard Luna
