Thank you for the touching and sweet story in your Dec. 26, 2012 paper about “A home for Smokey Joe.”

For cat lovers (which we are), and even those who “don’t care for them” — it was uplifting and delightful. What a wonderful person Ginna Seese, at Island House, must be to go to such lengths to save a poor homeless kitty.

In today’s self-centered world of “what’s in it for me,” and constant bickering (i.e. our Congress), it is indeed a delight to hear about the complete opposite in the person of Ginna Seese.

Thank you, Ginna, and thank you, reporter Rebecca Mar, for composing the article.

We have been subscribers to your paper for years and have enjoyed it and will continue to do so. Kudos to you all.
