| Introduction | I write about my hometown, Knox, Indiana. The hope is that my observations will result in some discussion and perhaps good changes. I apologize in advance because I know that I will not always get my facts straight. However, I promise that I will never intentionally tell an untruth. When I do get a fact wrong, please let me know and I will make the needed correction. It is also my hope that the readers of this space will comment on matters of opinion.

Reasoned and logical discussion will do much to enhance the effort put forth here. Thanks for visiting. |
