Others should support work for decent housing
Jim Schlosser celebrated our congregation's most lovable curmudgeon, Alex Stoesen, in his Oct. 1 column.
Jim captures the fascination and pleasure that Alex elicits from folk as he recounts his many around-the-world travels in support of Habitat for Humanity. Jim's article hit our front lawns on the same day Slam the Door on Poverty Housing (www.slamthedoor.org) began its national campaign for World Habitat Day 2007.
Part of its proclamation reads, "we ... declare that the lack of decent, affordable housing is unacceptable."
Knowing Alex Stoesen, I'm certain he'd appreciate all of Jim's readers checking out this proclamation to see if they, too, might like to support Habitat for Humanity.
