I like to learn and therefore accept being taught. But I resent being lectured to especially by people with a beam in their eye. To me the moralizing editorial of the MNH (11/24/2004) “Don’t let racism taint discussion about killings.” was only offensive, but to the relatives and acquaintances of the murdered it must have been a fist in the face. Writing “Hmong find...

In Ann Arbor, where our daughter, Christine, went to Kindergarten, the cut off date was December. When we moved to Marshfield she entered first grade at Washington Elementary School. Since the cut off date for Marshfield was September she was young for her class. During parent/teacher conference Miss Wilson, her teacher, assured me that Christine was holding her own, but...

Let me connect a few strands which to a casual observer have nothing in common. Number 1. Reading the labels of the Christmas presents I had bought I was horrified to realize that not one present was made in the US. Number 2. When my husband bought a Dell computer he also purchased a service policy in case something would go wrong. Well, he encountered a problem. He...

P. and sexual harassment being so much in the news; I remember the one and only incident of sexual harassment which happened to me.
I had invited a neighbor couple to dinner. During the course of dinner the husband’s foot inched over to my foot and started to play footsie with it. I was so surprised that I stopped chewing. For across from me was sitting his most beautiful and charming...

Here is my reaction to the trialogue at the University of Wisconsin-Marshfield Center (2/17/2005). On the stage sat the representatives of Islam, Judaism, Christianity, Buddhism and the moderator. Each man gave a synopsis of his religion. Dr. Raza, Moslem, said: Islam is about peace; Rabbi Danson: Judaism is about peace too; Rev. Hedding: Christianity is also about peace;...

If you believe it, that is your business. I don’t! I am referring to the following passage in the article: Victims reveal Nazi lab horrors in new filings (MNH, 1/26/04). “Nazi dogs with poison on their teeth were let loose to chase him and another man and rip flesh from their legs.” I am an avid reader of holocaust literature. Depending on the publication, the Germans were...

Our news media is in one of its periodic hyper modes. Its relentless attention is focused on pedophilic priests specifically, and the Catholic church in general. The accusation against these priests is child abuse. Our media otherwise explicit in sexual details is suddenly coy. I would like to hear specifics. What did these men actually do? Did they rape these youngsters? Did...

After having looked at the Marshfield public library exhibit “Hitler’s American POWs” I pulled from my file “WWII veteran’s extraordinary tale makes it onto canvas, video” which appeared on Feb. 15, 2002 in the Marshfield News-Herald. Here are the facts gleaned from the article. Mr. M., former sergeant of the US Air Corps, was stationed in northern Egypt. The then 21...

Rabbi D. hears what has not been said and reads what has not been written. On 11/10/1988 I attended a remembrance service of the Crystal night at the Wesley United Methodist Church. In the issue of 9/13/1996 of the Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle this was written about me: “Rabbi E. D. D. …participated in that service. As he descended from the pulpit, she (C. M.) grilled him on Israeli...

Whenever I tell somebody that my vote will go to Ralph Nader in the upcoming election the reply is always the same: “But Chris, you are throwing your vote away.” I am a frugal person who does not throw anything away of value to myself or others, not even my vote insignificant as it might be. Contrary to Vince Lombardi, winning is not everything, but voting your conscience...
