| State appointees need to work with assessors April 09, 2008 at 4:37 pm To the editor: Assessors did indeed endorse Bobby Jindal for governor.

Letter to the Editor October 11, 2007 at 10:32 am To the Editor: Rathborne Land Company has been actively involved in the effort to bring levee protection to the west bank of St. Charles Parish for many years.

| Letters to the Editor September 12, 2007 at 1:58 pm Thanks for printing the article in your Lifestyles section about the stingray and my sons.

| Thanks for great coverage of death August 29, 2007 at 1:33 pm To the editor: Thanks for that great coverage of the death (murder) of my cousin and outstanding citizen Mrs. Hilda Zeringue Warren of St. Rose. The photos were truly an outstanding way to honor her even though she died an uneccessary and senseless death! My hat is off to Shonna Riggs who showed compassion as she covered the story as horrendous as it was. She is to be commended along with the rest of the staff as a whole for a fine job that you normally do always. I think that I can say on behalf of myself, the family and the rest of the community - - thank you, Herald Guide, for a job well done. |
