Letter to the Editor: Homecoming Parade Should Focus On The School And Students

by

By CHRISTINE WEAVER
Los Alamos

I have to agree with Ms. Goforth rather than with Mr. Graham about having politicians in the Homecoming Parade.

The homecoming parade should focus on the school and the students. It’s their weekend and should not provide a forum for candidates.

In addition, I know there will be members of the class of ’64 here from out of town and state for their 50th reunion. I think it’s pretty safe to say that they’re not particularly interested in the political game of Los Alamos.

Los Alamos

First, an update: A few columns back, I wrote about the Market Basket case (here) in which the CEO was forced out by the board of directors, agitated by a cranky cousin. Thereafter, the employees had gone on strike to demand the reinstatement of their beloved CEO, Arthur T. Mr. Arthur T. recently bought out the company, at $1.5 billion price tag, and was back on his old job. The buyout brought a huge sigh of relief from the employees, and now they are rebuilding the enterprise. I wish them luck.
