Dear Editor: I recently purchased a one-year paid subscription mainly because of the Speak Out column, which is my favorite. If you do not print the name of an individual, there is no point in writing about the deed they have done. If you find my letters to be on the controversial side, that is just the way I am. Other writers hit the nail on the head with their views, like me. I thank you for printing previous letters of mine. Jack Baird, Dawson
