I got the mother lode. There is a stack of letters from this old woman ranting about mostly the Greeks. I don't think I've seen anyone who is apparently in their 90s be 1) able to write so much and 2) be so angry. It's amazing.
"These aren't dated so I'm not sure that our paper ever ran them," the contributor said. "Apparently, they were ignored from what she said in one of them but there's another that implies that some of them got through."
Here is one of the ones where she mentions that they haven't been running, complains about the American Legion and people taking care of historic sites. OH, OH and it gets better on the back. It gets better.
I guess you have one bad Gyro and the Greeks ruin the town.
I think my favorite stylistic error of hers is that she complains about immigrants but she often drops articles like stereotypical immigrants.
Sears and Roebuck Houses
[SOMETHING] anything past 20th St. except for
[SOMETHING PROBABLY HISTORIC] home that
[SOMETHING] bought for a far isn't

I graduated from High School here and was shocked at the way the town had been ruined by undesirables and our beautiful high school stands empty but we have an expensive statue in our ugly park!
The Greeks and Blacks came here during WWII but
they have
their say and do as they please in a town they
ruined. As about a Greek who owned a
[THE "DUMP" SHE MENTIONED YESTERDAY] on East Broadway! Ask about American Legion who was run out of
[COUNTY] but "Went Where else?"
[CITY]!
Combat Veterans (unless in small town where no other Social Activities) will not join American Legions they teach young men to guzzle
Beer ($$ for them) and Liquor!) So 3 Combat Veterans said!) I was told when they ran them out of
[COUNTY] they would not sell them land to build
[SOMETHING].

[CITY] "
historians" standing in a garden she did not make!) with white dress hair in place and a
clean garden shovel in her hand! In

Too old Want MORE
Truth from an Old Timer that is an American and White. As Us and Print iT! Stop pampering —

And when is a fire going to be put under City Council to get off their Butts and do wht City needs not what they want!! Overhear Variations and insults from [ENGLAND? DOES THAT SAY ENGLAND?]!
The last editor-publisher will not Print "Letters to the Editor" but a bunch of stuff from every place else — We want NEWS and
Pictures and letters from the
Tax Payers who are Pleased with this crappy Town or Not!
Not <3's and flowers of the
[GREEK] or
[GREEK] or

Working caring PEOPLE
for everyone anymore. Do they have to be from
Calif. or
Ga.?
Alzheimer's is a bitch, ain't it?

You know the drill. You can be snarky but this is not the place to be racist, sexist, advertise your site or one simple rule for losing weight while whitening your teeth, &c. If you can't play nice, you get put in time out. Don't make me have to moderate comments.
