Thanks, Haltom City Animal Services, for being good to animals
Cheers: To Elijah Waller of Atmos Energy for his quick response to our concern about a gas leak at our meter. He made sure we understood where the leak was and assured us it had been repaired.
- Clifford and Marilyn Smith, North Richland Hills
Cheers: To Saginaw Elementary School for hosting a wonderful family picnic. We loved bringing a picnic lunch for our grandson Nolan and enjoyed watching him play with his friends.
- Sara and Darrell Walker, Saginaw
Cheers: To the Haltom City Animal Shelter. You were so good to me when I brought in a stray cat I caught. I was glad to have a place to leave it.
- Charles Reese, Haltom City
Cheers: To the person at Mac’s Bar and Grill in Arlington who paid for dinner for three sisters on Nov. 9. This restaurant is the youngest sister’s favorite place to eat. You made our night. We promise to pay this kindness forward.
- Anna Johnson, Mansfield
Cheers: To the Star-Telegram for joining the modern world and going digital with fewer deliveries. It makes sense economically. I’m a senior who loves the print paper, but I’ll do fine without the Saturday paper.
- J.B. Ritchey, Arlington
Jeers: To the Star-Telegram for planning to discontinue Saturday deliveries next month. Why not just stop deliveries on Mondays instead? Most people enjoy reading their newspapers on Saturdays but seldom have time to do so on Mondays.
- Ed Lindsay, Fort Worth
Cheers: To the young man, young lady and Azle police officer who assisted me Jan 6.
- Kathren Baker, Poolville
Cheers: To coach Jimmy Johnson, who built a great 1990s Cowboys team with at least five future Hall of Fame players. When he was told of his selection to the Hall of Fame, his eyes watered, his voice cracked and he first thanked the coaches and players who helped him in his career.
- Bill Brown, Saginaw
Jeers: To the administration of J.P. Elder Middle School for allowing football players to take the field displaying the Mexican flag. As a 20-plus-year Navy veteran, I resent this insult to Americans everywhere.
- Landon G. Cox Jr., Crowley
Cheers: To the kind person who paid for our dinner at the Saltgrass Steak House on Dec. 22. What a great surprise. It was my wife’s birthday, and you made her feel extra special.
- Brian Lilly, Fort Worth
Cheers: To members of the Troy Moore family for delivering our Star-Telegram for 12 years. They always took a special interest in their customers and went the extra mile.
- Donna Edwards, Colleyville
Cheers: To the second-floor nursing staff at the USMD Hospital at Arlington. On Jan. 10, when storms and a threat of tornadoes were moving through the area, they moved all the patients into the hallway and kept a close eye on us until the storm passed.
- Edlyne Dickson, Burleson
Jeers: To the Star-Telegram for the Dec. 30 Life & Arts section story “Alzheimer’s caregiving: How can I find joy in the holidays?” (8A) Seems to me it came two weeks too late.
- Jo Smith, Arlington
