Dear Editor,

This is an interesting thing that happened to me because of the Covid-19 scare:

I went to WalMart in Port Lavaca to get a prescription refilled – Well! My car broke down in the fire lane. I was told I could not park in the fire lane. I told the person my problem. I then went in the WalMart store and a young woman working in the store helped me out by calling my insurance company for a towing truck. No truck was available but they would call another towing truck for me. But! I would have to pay for it myself. Well! To make a long story shorter, their cab was too small for me to ride up front with the driver and his helper. And we have to stay 6 ft. apart. So! At 91 years old, I rode in my car on top of the towing truck all the way home to Seadrift. Wow! What a ride! It was like riding on a roller coaster way up high. A first time ride at my age.

Believe it or not!

Letter to the Editor:

Thank you Dr. Leigh Ann Falcon, Director of Memorial Medical Center and Port Lavaca Clinic, for representing rural medical care so effectively in your interview with CBS News 60 Minutes on Sunday night. Your succinct and pointed description of the desperate need of federal and state support for these rural facilities, that provide services to the 19% uninsured citizens in the state, was appreciated by everyone. For Memorial Medical Center in Port Lavaca, that means $3,000,000 of medical care that goes unpaid each year. Our grateful hearts go out to each health care professional and support staff. We humbly thank you for all that you do.
