Letter to the Editor: Coasties enjoy small town

Everyone who has welcomed us coasties to Odessa has made our move much easier and more pleasant, including Michelle Melgren of Katz Realty, Shari at Ramm Hardware and the staff members at Wheatland Bank, the U.S. Post Office, Odessa Foods, Odessa Drug, Grange Supply Co. (Cenex), Odessa Office Equipment, The Odessa Record, OMHC and Odessa Auto Parts, as well as the mayor, council and clerks.

Our neighbors, Mark and Kim, Cathy and Jim, Dennis, Brian and Diana, Ernie and Marla, Cheryl, Harvey, Linda and family and others have supported our efforts in getting a town variance for emotional support chickens. It’s great to see them again. They bring us a lot of pleasure and enjoyment, like our dogs do.

Brian Finkbeiner recommended Heritage Church to us, and Pastor Jon Hayashi and the congregation there have welcomed us with open arms.

We look forward to a long retirement and relationship with all, The Lord willing. The small-town atmosphere is just what we needed to slow down and enjoy life. Everyone has just been great here. If we missed someone, we apologize.
