Local heroes deserve public recognition
"Woman honored for being mom to kids in need" by Tom Steadman (Nov. 19) was a heartwarming story. To open the Sunday paper and see an article such as this makes a person proud.
The woman is truly a shero (hero) in her own right. She took in children that many people had given up on, turning them into a family that they still love.
This is one of hundreds of local hero stories that need to be published. Great credit goes to Steadman for publishing this article.
On the other hand, it is sad that it took this long for her to be recognized. This goes to show that the problems of the world are focused on so hard that the good things that are being done to preserve this great place we call America are being over looked.

6string, I'm with you. I like this letter but I can't stand that term.
The word is heroine. Basically, the feminine of hero, although it is pretty normal for women to be called heroes in modern times.
What's next: shebrew?
Is a male hermit now a himmit? Is herpes now himpes?
