Feedback: Getting down Montgomery, up Graded Hill was tough

Letters and Feedback

Written in response to photo of Montgomery Hill in snowtime

Ed:

And now it's blacktop and very little snow compared to walking to Columbia Grade School in the 50''s.

We had big snows then. No matter, we still had to go up and down Montgomery Hill.

s/Jim Beard

Jim: You are so right. The kids of today don't know how hard we had it. The hardships you mention don't include the times one of us would fall in the creek, or break through the ice. It's a wonder we didn't lose fingers and toes to frostbite. It really was uphill both ways, too. -ED

    Cat crisis? Shelter only has 7 cats at this time

    Miscellany of the Green River Animal Shelter and of Dogs and Cats: G.R.A.S. is finding homes for many cats. Latest Australian shepherd available is quite an animal. A great Gradyville herding dog's story. Evan's cat handling improvements. And the story of Golda Meow's adventure, her newly invaded territory, finally, but reluctantly, abandoned. With photo links.

    By Ed Waggener

    America's most popular pet has been proving extremely popular at the Green River Animal Shelter.

    Heather Evans wrote yesterday from the shelter, "The buff kitten has been adopted." And gave the current low assessment: "We actually only have seven cats at this time!"

    Heather Evans is the person responsible for those fantastic animal pictures we've been able to share on ColumbiaMagazine.com.

    The posting she sent today is a beautiful black and white Australian shepherd, Lunaria, an animal with incredibly unique markings, and a look that tells you he know's he's smarter than you are.
