European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - November 9, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Friday novembers 1990 the stars and stripes Page 11ann Landers a a letters a writer lauds Saint s draw Down plans dear Ann Landers the primitive nature of Man never ceases to baffle me. After 20 years of a solid marriage i sensed that another woman was making a big play for my husband. My Confidence in his Fidelity proved to be Well placed when six months later her phone Calls and open flirting at social events stopped. I was curious As to what caused him to resist the temptation to stray since the would be interloper was much younger than i and certainly much More Beautiful. So i asked him hoping he would say it was my steadfast Devotion my Charm my wit and my excellence As a Mother and homemaker. I was. Stunned to hear him say a your sex life was so Good i just  see giving it  he was not the least bit concerned about his children his religion what our parents and families might think nor did he worry that a divorce might ruin him financially. It was the sex thing that made the difference. I had imagined that an open discussion would give me Confidence. Instead it has been a constant grind in my Craw. In a crushed that All the things in be worked so hard on mean nothing to him. Maybe i can find Relief from the pain by talking about it. Thanks for listening. Baffled in Tulsa dear Tulsa the answer he gave you May be partially True but rest assured that the factors you hoped would make the difference certainly did whether he was willing to admit it or not. Maybe the lesson to be Learned is a let sleeping dogs  dear Ann Landers recently i had the Opportunity to travel from our Home in new York through Ohio Kentucky and Tennessee. Along the Way i struck up some Friendly conversation with the locals. To my dismay All too often the conversation went something like this a where Are you from a a a in a from new  a i hate new York. New yorkers Are so rude id never live in new  Ann i am not from new York City. It amazes me How no one Ever asks what part of new York i am from. Id like to respond to these people As follows if you look at a map of new York you will realize that Only a Small portion of it is new York City. New York is a Beautiful state. It has the Adirondack mountains rolling Hills vineyards Miles of Farmland Maple sugar and some of the Best apples you will Ever eat. We also have Niagara Falls. Lake Ontario is one of the Best fishing spots in the country. We Are centrally located next door to Vermont Pennsylvania and Canada. New York has it a. It so bad enough that we have to carry the tax Burden of new York City but must we Bear its poor reputation As Well please print this letter Ann and set the record straight. Definitely not from nyc dear definitely of. So you Are definitely not from new York City. So where Are you from Albany Buffalo Corning Melville Oneida Rochester Ithaca Schenectady Syracuse White Plains if you would name the City instead of saying a a in a from new York a the problem that you find so galling would cease to exist. Try it. C creators Syndicate As the United states army Europe prepares for draw Down the commander of Usa eur Gen. Cros Bie e. Saint in my opinion is executing some of the most effective consolidation plans Ever. For Many years i have observed the succession of channels one must negotiate in order to get a command approval a be it an Intra theater Transfer it funding for a construction project or an interim change or amendment to a particular army regulation or directive. In some isolated cases the paperwork was either lost in the paper shuffle file thirteen de or permanently attached to the Bottom of someone a in Box awaiting a rubber stamp approval disapproval or postdate stamp. The recently proposed plan to group communities under a Hub system is an excellent plan. Just think of the paperwork human resources and time that could be saved by having a somewhat direct line to the approving authority. If a approved a of which i have no doubt this plan could be the vehicle doers in the Field need to do Louisiana s racial it is very disturbing to me that 20 years after the major gains made by the civil rights movement of the 1960s, racial attitudes in the state of Louisiana have changed very Little. I came to this conclusion after Reading about the election results for the Louisiana . Senate seat. I find it hard to believe that David Duke a former Kun flux klan grand wizard with ties to nazi groups could get elected to the Louisiana state legislature and then go on to receive 44 percent of the states popular vote for the . Senate seat fortunately not enough to win but coming very close. In 49 of so states i Hope ties with hate groups like the klan and the nazis would mean political ruin for a what a wrong with this nation what a wrong with the insurance companies desert shield among us All. Phone companies giving free Calls free mail service other companies giving desert shield items to help the gis. But the insurance companies Cut or limit our privileges of getting life insurance if we re being sent to or participating in desert shield. We re trying to do the people of America a favor by protecting them and their interests and they Tell us we can to have life insurance. I done to see them Down in saudi Arabia. In a sure they have fat policies that help out their families. They re punishing us instead of helping. We and our families their jobs effectively and see the results in a timely manner. This plan could also eliminate some of the in Between chiefs and directorates in place Only to solicit a signature but Are paid big Bucks for doing so. In the Advent of cutbacks and budgetary constraints this decision making procedure is both on line and on time. Finally i Hope our a Powers to be in our nations capital take notice of this proposal. And just maybe our Congress Senate and chief executive May be Able to tailor make an alternative measure of their own to assure the american people of an approved budget by oct. 1 of each year. Gen. Saint after execution of this swell plan i think its on line to say a sir its time to make a run for the Oval office. You will get my vote with  a a Lendo Bray Wiesbaden German attitudes deplored politician but in Louisiana David Duke seems to be getting More politically powerful. The people from Louisiana who voted for David Duke Are condoning racism bigotry and hatred which will Only result in the political economic and social regression of their state. If the people of Louisiana Are looking for solutions to their Many economic problems racism bigotry and David Duke Are not the answer. In just 10 Short years we will enter the 21st Century. Unfortunately a Good portion of Louisiana s citizens will still be living in the 19th Century. �?1st it. Victor Harris Schwein flirt Germany deserve More far More. Someone who is willing to help family members by buying a policy  be limited. It is very unfair to limit people by rank a to limit at All is wrong what would those people do if they had to go there and not make their precious fortunes off people what a wrong with americans when they done to help out in time of need or maybe they done to care we re Down there. Maybe if All this were Over life insurance companies would not be so selfish on profits. What happened to patriotism a pfc. Byrd Mannheim Germany pen pals i am 18 years old and a roman Catholic.
