Your 29 Dec Milestones poem was delightful! You overcame some tough rhyming problems and sent a worthwhile message that was also funny. After your 5 Jan column, I wanted to send you an email addressed to Don Quixote since you plea for responsible City government was tilting at windmills. We all knew the outcome.

Your 12 Jan acceptance without protest of Gillmor as the appointee was statesmanship. However, I know you won’t be reluctant to rail against the council majority when they screw up — and you KNOW they will.
