Dear Editor: There is one person that I’m very proud, he is an extraordinary man. I’m really proud of him because he always sacrifices himself for everybody; no matter what he has to do, he just does it. His pleasure is to give people happiness and time. He helps everyone from the bottom of his …
Dear Editor: What a sad day for Union City when two gentlemen of distinction – Frederick Reines and William Merwin – one who attended our local schools and the other who was a graduate of Union Hill High School, receive no recognition for their greatness.
