The Plymouth ReviewReaders Letters:
Plymouth people 'most wonderful'
To the Editor:
A few extra moments, after an eventful summer. I'm sitting here at my desk, supervising a study group of juniors, and my thoughts turn to my brother Jim and how, if the choice was his, he'd rather be in school than his hospital bed. Realizing how much time has passed since July 1, it's about time I express my thoughts and feelings to you and to the citizens of Plymouth.
I know my sisters and brothers, especially those of us who do not really know Plymouth as a home, join me in sending a sincere thank you to some of the most wonderful people I have ever met, talked with, or otherwise. Your unending kindnesses in the past months have shown how unbelievably openhearted the people of your community are - even to a family who has lived among you for such a short period of time.
No one will ever be able to describe how much your thoughtfulness has been welcomed and appreciated by my parents, my younger brothers and sisters and me. My parents are truly living in "God's Country. "
I cannot close without personally sending another, and a very special thank you to Jim's friends and classmates.
Several years ago an opportunity to work at your local high school came my way and I regret that I turned down a chance to work among and with young men and women who are truly dedicated to one another.
To All - May God Bless you with health, wealth and happiness and a long (peaceful) life to enjoy them.
Fondly,
Mrs. Gene (Mary) Hoerth
Editor's note: Mary added a note saying she didn't know whether her letter should be published and would leave that up to us, but she wanted to express her thoughts somehow to the people of Plymouth. Her brother, James Hemauer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hemauer, 350 N. Stafford St., Plymouth, broke his neck July 1, when he dived into a pond new Elkhart Lake and hit bottom. He is now paralyzed from the neck down and is at St. Joseph's Hospital, Milwaukee. His parents hope to have him transferred to a special rehabilitation unit in the University Hospital, Madison, in a few weeks.
