Letter To The Editor

May 15, 1968
To: The Editor and Publisher
and Staff of Future Outlook
Words cannot express how
surprised and honored I was to
be named the "Mother of the
Year" for 1968 in your news
paper. It is a tribute that I shall
always cherish.
I must say, however, that I do
feel that I have done1 very little.
I have only done what any par
ent should do for his offspring.
It has been because of that fine
spirit of cooperation of my hus
band and my children that I
have come this far. Not to say
the least, God has certainly
been our anchor and shelter in
time of storm.
A million thanks, again, to
you and your staff.
Best wishes for more and
more success in your newspaper
career.
Sincerely yours,
(Mrs.) Rosetta B. Florence
