"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" —Ecclesiastes 3:1 Winter is over and the Spring season is finally here although some days felt more like Summer.

"But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man." — Jesus of Nazareth Children exposed to obscene speech I am tired of the obscene vocabulary my fellow Tucumcarians tolerate in our community. As I write this letter, two of my neighbors sit on their front porches, expressing themselves in front of their children with a full range of choice metaphors. Not to single out any particular person, my ears can listen on almost any day and hear a stream of filthy speech from about any direction. A few years a...

Most of you are well aware that I am a proud New Mexico State University Aggie and am particularly proud to have received my first degree from then New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts. While I was still in the English Department, I became involved in a project that was to recognize our centennial. Many of the outstanding individuals of the area were interviewed, and all proceedings were taped so the program could be put together in the form of VCR tapes and shown on our PBS station. I was fortunate enough to receive a set of...
