Reader’s Voice: Goal: Equal treatment for son

June 2, 2022Dear editor; My letter is handwritten because my computer has been hacked. My experience in dealing with the Fox Valley Special Recreation Association (FVSRA) suggests to me that the first-place acceptance for many interesting programs do not go to my son, Paul. Others receive first choice. I suggest

Reader’s Voice: Reflection, rebuttal, of previous letters

August 15, 2021Dear editor; After reading the challenge to a previous week’s contributor by Joan Solms in the August 12 issue of The Voice (thevoice.us/readers-voice-a-challenge-to-writer-to-meet), I was prompted to retrieve my copy of the August 5 issue in an effort to identify and understand what sort of reprehensible contribution I

Reader’s Voice: A challenge to writer to meet

August 6, 2021Dear editor; The letter appearing in last week’s issue of The Voice, authored by Marjorie Logman, thevoice.us/readers-voice-climbing-the-steps-finds-truth, Climbing the steps finds truth, is a dirty joke aimed at Christians and veterans and it needs a slap back.
