******************************************** Additional Text for the 08/04/04 Alumni Sandstorm ******************************************** >>From: Missy Keeney ('59) Hey, Janet! Great entry in the Sandstorm! I, too was attacked once for something I wrote in the Sandstorm. I have to admit, I licked my wounds for a while and was fearful of attending a public meeting when I knew this person would be there. I also had to take a break when the war was starting (and started). Maren did a great job of keeping that subject off limits for awhile but I was feeling so alone in my belief that war should not be an option unless truly unavoidable to protect the homeland. I was being called "unamerican" and I love this country and have been active in the political process since I was 21. I think the Sandstorm is an amazing forum and Maren handles it with amazing sensibility. If you are planning to be at Club 40 do you have any ideas about how to handle a get together for the '59ers? So far, we are planning to meet early Friday evening on the deck at the Shilo just so we can say "Hi." and chat with each other. (Now that you mention it, I have missed your entries in the Sandstorm.) Your "liberal" (when did that get to be a dirty word?) classmate and friend, Missy ********************************************
