First of all, let me express my apprecitation for the fine example of 'HOME TOWN REPORTING' I receive from you every week. I left Stockton in 1946 or 1947 and have taken the Sentinel (or whatever it was named at the time) ever since. My problem is with your not using a correct address when mailing to me. PLEASE CORRECT TO: 2300 N. TYLER Rd. #318, WICHITA, KS 67205-8772. This correction will no doubt soothe the temperature of the postal workers who have no doubt been stressed by the task of the extra effort of adding the correction in this area of the front page and perhaps covering some portion of the original publication. Thank you so very much.
