Story on Vietnam veteran was healing

Re: “Bob Crowson’s Vietnam experience,” May 22nd issue, by Beverly Crowson Parish:
I wish I could have read this article on Bob Crowson before I married my husband, Odell. He had the same problem adjusting after he came back from Nam. I met him after he first got back from there. He had issues that only God could reach! It helped me to understand Odell. It was healing for me!
It’s hard for me to say in words what this article did for me. The best word is compassion for those who have gone through trauma, and those who are affected by it.
His mother, Madelyn Crowson, was a blessing for all of us. We have to keep praying for our families! I will continue to pray for Bob. I’m glad he has his partner, Linda.

Sharing the story on Vietnam veteran
Editor, The Sun:
Re: “Bob Crowson’s Vietnam experience,” May 22nd issue, by Beverly Crowson Parish:
The article was beautifully written, and tears were shed as I read it. Thanks for sharing these horrid experiences he endured. I have always said future generations cannot forget what soldiers endured for our country.
I had my daughter print the article. I want to save this for my kids and grandkids so they will have the true information of the Vietnam War and the sacrifices so many made.
What a testimony Bob has to share on the power of prayer. God is so big. I always knew he was so special when I would see him around the county. He always had that big smile.
This will remain in my mind and soul forever.

Mauney seemed like a nice guy
Editor, The Sun:
Re: “Mauney found guilty of second degree murder,” May 29th issue:
I met Stuart Mauney six months ago. Mr. Mauney seemed like a very nice guy throughout our eight to 10 meetings. I have to mention that he did say things that didn’t quite add up and unlike what was exposed in his courtroom trial. I do understand that a man’s life was taken here but Stuart’s “20 years as an RN” had me convinced that he was innocent. He’d spent a large part of his life helping to save others, why would someone like that take a life and leave the scene? Just a very strange collision of lives. One tragically taken with one, at 69 years, for all practical purposes, also taken. Very sad. I met his wife too, a very nice, demure lady. Before his conviction, Stuart had told me that she was very much emotionally affected by this tragedy as many were on the opposite side.
