Take a vote on what to call Willow Glen
Thanks go to Robert Smith of Cottle Avenue who wrote to the Resident about "the Glen" ("'The Glen' nickname destroys WG's history," Aug. 11).
That's been bothering me since the first time I read it in your paper. I only wish that I had written sooner. Willow Glen has such history. Calling it "the Glen" seems disrespectful to me. Let's take a reader poll of how many of your readers are in agreement with me and Robert!

It's no fun to stop and smell the cats
Am I asking too much of pet guardians by requesting they keep their animals in their own yards at poop time?
I am convinced that most people are responsible. I see many folks walking their dogs on leashes and have even observed "pick-up" bags in the hands of several. The problem I am having is with the felines.
It isn't much fun when you stop to smell the roses and have your olfactory senses hit with pet poop! Not to mention having it flavor the strawberries and leave treasures in my son's sandbox.
I've often seen a mocha and honeystriped cat in our yards. Though it has yummy-sounding coloration, what it leaves behind isn't very appetizing.
I implore the guardians to either properly train the cats or to keep them on your own property at all times.

Help preserve WWII memories
This letter is directed to WWII veterans and their families:
Help save the personal legacy of World War II. The experiences and paper-based memorabilia of those who served in the armed forces and defense industries--so often discarded--are valuable parts of this nation's history.
The Florida State University Department of History has set up the Institute on World War II and the Human Experience to collect and preserve this physical heritage for research, teaching and exhibition. If you or someone you know has letters, diaries or photographs of the period, please contact the Institute at the Department of History, Florida State University, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2200, or call them at (850) 644-9033.
We will be delighted to send an information packet or answer any questions concerning donation of materials to the Institute and their future use.
