Letters to the Editor
Grateful for Help During Flood 

I'm proud to say I live in Apalachin. These people evacuated when they were told to, found their own temporary housing, didn't complain about not getting enough aid or receiving their $2,000 and a trailer. As soon as the water started to recede they were starting to clean up, helping each other where ever possible.

 The churches, the Red Cross, individuals bought cleaning materials with their own funds (Karl and Sue Lason), I'm sure there were others and of course the Apalachin Fire Department, one of the finest in the country. Last but not least, in my personal situation, I give my everlasting and eternal gratitude to Sue and Mike Lewis, I could not have expected these neighbors to have made the tremendous sacrifice of time and physical energy to right my ship.
 Many thanks and much respect.
