Nostalgia Bump

I just love that Fred Hardin III’s letter “Chicken-Killing Thursdays” (November 3). It’s just really well written. I enjoyed it. It’s humorous. He should think about writing. It really gave me a bump into nostalgia. I appreciated it.

Vets Missing

I am a high-school teacher in San Diego. As all public education and government job sectors have the day off in honor of Veterans Day, I searched the Reader this morning for any San Diego events that pay tribute to our country’s fallen and survived soldiers. I was not as much disappointed as shocked that your website had no mention that the holiday even existed.

While there is giant parade today in downtown and a college basketball game aboard an aircraft carrier, which President Obama is attending, neither were listed on your events calendar for the day or anywhere on your events page. A search for the word “veteran” returned only a quilting event. I was under the impression this was a staple San Diego place to find events and activities in San Diego. Apparently not.
