We have been told by many of our readers that the CSM Mailbox is the first thing they read when they open a new issue. We certainly love getting swamped with tons of your letters and consider every one for publication. We want to hear from you so keep those letters coming! While you’re at it, include a photo and we’ll publish it along with your letter. Be sure to include your phone number and complete mailing address. If your letter is chosen for publication in a future issue, you'll receive a free one-year subscription to Cecil Soil Magazine. Sincerely yours, P.S.— We've provided a simple and convenient form that you may use, if you wish. May/June 2010 Dear CSM, Thank you again for continuing to publish a fun and interesting magazine. I was pleased to see the great picture of Mr. Letts in “Haircuts with Herb.” I learned about Mr. and Mrs. Letts from the first article you printed about them. He was looking for information on some veterans. One of them was my mother’s brother, Albert Logan, who was killed in WWII. I got in touch with Mr. Letts and sent him pictures, etc. of my uncle. We have had several phone calls since that time. You are absolutely correct that the Letts are truly dedicated Americans. Although I have never had the privilege of meeting them in person, they are “perfect.” Best Regards, Susan Kemether Newark, Delaware Cecil Soil, We enjoy the Cecil Soil and consider it our favorite magazine. The articles are very informative and the CSM puzzle is fun to work. Sincerely, Ramona Bolen Havre de Grace, Maryland Dear Cecil Soil, I read with great interest the article on the Cherry Grove Tree Farm, Nov/Dec, issue as it brought back a lot of memories. I grew up right next to the Graybeal Farm bordering on the west. I attended Cherry Grove School in the first grade. This school borders the Cherry Grove Tree Farm on the east. Richard was a couple of classes ahead of me at Calvert Agriculture School and his wife Janet was in my class. Good article and I appreciate those type of articles. I also enjoyed the article “Haircuts with Herb” especially the article on William Ewing. I knew about his “missing in action” but I had forgotten about it. He was called Buddy by his family and the reason I know this is I was married to his sister for twenty two years until her passing in 1989. I was happy to find he is still doing well. Keep up the good work with these types of articles as we like to reminisce when we get old. Quentin Boyle Lake City, Florida Dear Carol, Since I talked to you I located the picture of Sidonia I was telling you about. I had three copies run off. One for you, one for my brother, and I delivered one to Sidonia. She was very excited to receive it. I also found out she and my mother Leone Terrell were both nurses at Union Hospital. I also believe Sidonia might have baby-sat us. Enjoy the picture, Barbara Terrell Bowlsbey Elkton, Maryland (See the photo on page 57 of the May/June 2010 issue.) Dear Cecil Soil Magazine, I was so glad to read in Cecil Soil Magazine and Better Bargains Advertiser that our good friend and fellow Lion, Harry Barnes, announced his candidacy for judge of the Circuit for Cecil County. When I think of Harry, I see him walking toward everyone he meets with a big smile and extended hand saying, “how are you doing”. Harry is a real people person who truly cares for his fellow man. One thing about Harry is that he truly cares about his community and his county. Having belonged to the Elkton Lions club prior to transferring to Rising Sun, he was president there three times. He tells me he is interested in entering the political arena which I am sure he can handle well. His dedication to his family, Rising Sun Lions club, clients, and community is second to none and I wish him well in all his endeavors. One other great asset Harry has is that powerful baritone singing voice, he’s a great song leader. Here’s to Harry! Respectfully, Bud McFadden Rising Sun, Maryland Authority, Wilbert N. Dill Jr. Treasurer. Dear Cecil Soil Magazine, Please excuse my writing and spelling. I’ll be 85 in May and have not perfect eye sight. If you feel Cecil Soil readers would not bother to read the Reo story, you don’t have to print it. In early 1943 Dad got a job as a mechanic at the Bainbridge Naval Station near Port Deposit. In May of 1943, he was working under the rear of a dump truck. Some one else had jacked it up and removed the left wheels. The truck slipped off the jack. Dad died two hours later in the Havre de Grace Hospital. When I was overseas Mom sold everything – 40 acres, three houses and the garage. She moved to Columbus Ohio so my younger sister could go to OSU. My brother, Edward was a whiz mechanic and did the night shift at the garage. He went to a diesel engine school in Missouri so he could work on diesel trucks. Then he joined the Navy for six years. They put him in a LST in charge of the diesel engine. I asked him how the LST got off the beach. He said there was an anchor and winch on the rear. They dropped the anchor before hitting the beach. To get off the beach they started an engine and the anchor pulled them off. I enjoy the Soil so very much and hopefully you’ll publish my story, The 1928 Reo Tow Truck, in an upcoming issue of CSM. Thank you very much. Duane Borden Ft. Worth, Texas Publisher’s Note: We would be proud to publish your story in an upcoming issue of Cecil Soil Magazine. Thank you, Mr. Borden. Dear CSM, I read the magazine cover to cover – love it!!!!! Don’t change a thing (except more frequent issues would be great!!) I have never been to the Cecil County Fair, however I have heard so much about it in CSM that I now have it marked on my calendar and already have been to the web site! This will be my first time attending and I can’t wait! Debbie Logue Newark, Delaware Dear Mr. & Mrs. Belote, Thank you for the two copies of CSM of all the stories you printed for our family’s history in Cecil County. You did a great story and picture of my father and mother on the cover of CSM. Again, Thank You. Bill Matthews Springfield, Florida Please send your letters to: Cecil Soil Magazine, P.O.
