I don't know if the original author's name was left out on purpose, but if it
was never included in the original e-mail we should group that person in with
the cowardly terrorists who caused so much pain and suffering yesterday.
I have looked forward to the arrival of Tiger Tales each month of the 20 years
I been a member of the club. Sure, there have been mistakes over the years, but
nothing earth shattering, and certainly nothing to warrant verbal slurs like
those thrown in the original e-mail. Volunteering to do a job that no one else
wants is highly commendable and I have the utmost respect for those who give of
themselves to do these tasks.
Maybe we all should reflect on just exactly what is important in life, and be
tolerant of others and the mistakes they make. Life's too short to bicker over
the credit for a photo. Mistakes happen- deal with it.
