What I’m grateful for in the Galesburg area community

I’m grateful for the good people of our area community and the multifarious good deeds, endeavors and activities they involve themselves in.  I especially appreciate the learning institutions and educators, the houses of worship that appeal to our better angels, our law enforcement officials that serve to protect us, veteran services that assist and honor those who have already served to protect us, health service workers that help us from pre-natal to geriatrics, all the structures that form the basis of a responsive community.   I’m grateful for the Civic Art center, theatrical and musical productions, and our shared community activities.  Grateful for the variety of restaurants, businesses, and expanding shopping areas we’re gaining, for the new overpasses and underpasses, beautifying and streamlining our town.  Grateful for our Register-Mail newspaper, keeping us abreast of local and national news; and I shout out to Charlie Gruner for congratulating John Hunigan and for kind words he expressed for our sheriff David Clague.
