Letter to the Editor – July 2, 2008

To the Editor,
I read with interest your article on the Sexsmith pilots. I was glad to hear that Sexsmith Airfield is, according to Ron Helm, “… nice here; it’s quiet.” Unfortunately, that is something I can’t say for Grand Bend, with planes constantly buzzing overhead all day long. One in particular – perhaps the home made one – has a particularly loud engine.
I too lived through the war in England, and I have to say that the planes constantly circling overhead bring back childhood memories of Spitfires and Messerschmidt’s fighting it out over the top of our house. Could they not find a less developed area to do their flying over, perhaps even the lake? We would be eternally grateful for a little of the peace and quiet found at Sexsmith Airfield.

    Casey,

    We understand the need to ask for subscriptions to the Strip, even though it wasn’t your original intent. And we’re happy to subscribe to your outstanding paper. The Strip’s content, writing and presentation are head and shoulders above any other local publication. Case in point: what other editor could get his mother to pose for a photo shoot donning only her son’s paper?

    Cheers from Zurich,

    Tim and Monica Doherty
