Letter to the Editor:

Listen up to the other side of the story about Drinda Merritt! Drinda has a full time

job, yet takes time to give to the community with quilting on Monday nights and computer

training on Wednesday. She is a full-time Inglis Commissioner and does not deserve the low

-blows directed at her. What have you detractors EVER contributed to Inglis? I’ve known

Drinda for several years and know what an unusual person she is. She has always walked

the extra mile. She maintains an apartment for those who need a helping hand. Drinda has

a spiritual side that is not revealed easily

Drinda looks for ways to help Inglis is her reason to devoting time to a sewer sys-
