EDITOR: As a 30-year resident of Douglas County, I have rarely seen a candidate more qualified to represent all of us in the Nevada Assembly.
I am writing this letter in support of the re-election of Nancy McDermid for county commissioner District 4.

I've been itching to plant bulbs. I saw a big bag of daffodils one day and couldn't resist buying them. I have been restraining myself from putting them in the ground knowing full well that with all this warm weather they might start growing. Then, winter would come and all the new growth would die, leaving me no bulb development in spring. However, spring bulbs still need fall planting.
We have heard on the news about scams that are being done to people, but it never really made a big impression on me until yesterday when we received one of their phony letters.
