I would like to thank the Lee’s Summit Parks workers for the beautiful wild flowers at Hartmann Park. They are absolutely gorgeous, and well worth a trip to go see them. To all of those people who worked on this project, Great job and thank you.

I am one of the many thousands of misplaced Summit Fitness members that had to recently find another place to work out.

I am writing in regards to an article and pictures, which appeared in the April 25 Lee’s Summit Journal, under the title “New council members sworn in as Spallo, Hallam say goodbyes,” showing the incoming and outgoing City Council members.

I recently attended a “Meet You’re District One Council Representative” gathering. The meeting was held to welcome the newly elected and to say goodbye to the person he was replacing. It was sparsely attended by about 15 citizens, but given the fact that it was on a nice spring Saturday morning I can fully understand the attendance.

I would like to inform the community of my husband’s passing.

First of all, I am a proud 1978 Mizzou engineering graduate. The KU fight song, played on April 2, was a full two weeks after my Tigers bowed out of the NCAA with an embarassing loss to Norfolk State followed a few days later by K-State’s loss to Syracuse. I was rooting for the Jayhawks as well, being the only local school remaining in the Big 12, yes.., that’s right, a Tiger rooting for the Jayhawks!

Lee’s Summit has been the place I’ve called home for over 50 years. Recently I was reminded of some of the reasons why I love this community.

I am shocked and disappointed that a former member of our state legislature reverted to his college days by spewing hate for everybody associated with the playing of the KU chant at an area school.

There is no better way to be aware of autism than to have a family member with autism that you live with every day.

I realize now how to generate news in Lee’s Summit. Take on KU and the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District.
