Port O’Connor friends, if you get the chance and the time please read The Time of Our Lives by Tom Brokaw. He tells it like it is. Where America has been and where we are going if we don’t improve our education system. To quote, “In 2010 President Obama’s big educational initiative, race to the top, he offered States a total of 4,35 billion in grants to change their education polices to make them more effective. That is less than the Department of Defense spent in Iraq in June of the same year. Does that make sense to you? G.B. Robertson PS: When I finish with the book I will lend it to anybody who would like to read it.

The Dolphin welcomes letters from our readers on any subject that is of general interest to our audience. Letters should be 300 words or less (with exceptions at the Dolphin’s discretion). Letters reflect the opinion of the writer, and not that of Dolphin Talk staff, and we retain the right to determine suitability for publication. It is the policy of this newspaper to promote area interests: therefore, complaints against local businesses should be directed elsewhere. Letters must be signed and include day and evening phone numbers, which will not be published. Your name will be withheld upon request, but anonymous material will not be considered for publication.
