Dear Editor: My husband Manfred and I read with surprise, delight, and great appreciation the recent report in The View of the Baumann family’s gift to the Nordheim Independent School District. We believe there is nothing more important than education to assure the preservation and continuation of the best in the American way of life, which provides children an opportunity to learn not only the basics of formal education, but lessons in sharing thoughts, accepting different points of view, and competing with fair-mindedness and by the rules.

GOD first....Heavenly Father, so many people have been misdirected by our present day society. They are drifting away from knowing that one day they will be needing You again.
