To the editor: “I know in my heart that man is good, that what is right will always eventually triumph, and there is a purpose and worth for each and every life.” Never has this saying been more appropriate in our life than in weeks since June 5 when we lost our house.

While the tornado took our house, it did not take our home. We were all fortunate enough to escape with no injuries and will be back at the same address on Main Street in Millbury (with the same old phone number) by the end of the year.

While it left devastation, it also left us recognizing how privileged we are to have the people in our lives that we do. From family to friends, to friends of family, and even friends of friends, we were shown how good people truly are. So many people, some that we have never met, reached out to us in this difficult time. Support came in many forms including but not limited to time, effort, food, clothing, financial assistance and prayers. All of this support helped us re-establish our lives and begin a recovery process that has gotten us to this point today. We are very grateful for all that we were given.

In an ideal world, we would be able to personally thank all of the people who helped us out. Unfortunately, that task would be nearly impossible. We hope that this letter, though somewhat impersonal, still expresses our gratitude.

Trashy or sophisticated
To the editor: This summer, I saw the dirty, raunchy movies, “Hot Tub Time Machine” and “Take Him to the Greek.”

There was oral sex, three-way sex, bare breasts and filthy language with generous use of the “F” word.

Seeing these trashy movies makes me wonder, have we become a trashy society or are we a more sophisticated society than previous generations?
