A HUGE thank you to our members who have written letters to the editor of The Times. Recently they have published several letters that aren't paeons to book banning, historical revisionism, Biden-bashing, or just outright hatred. This past week, Frank Lock, Teressa Glaser, Howard Stacy and William McKee had letters published that let Hall County and the surrounding area know that we aren't all right-wing bigots.
