Abraham Lincoln’s Thanksgiving Proclamation, issued Oct. 3, 1863, is an eloquent invitation to—even in the midst
of the trauma of the Civil War—count one’s blessings.

I thoroughly enjoyed [Greg Morris’ Nov. 22] commentary titled “Dressing for success matters” and I totally
agree with you! I realize times have changed, but I am constantly amazed at how casual our world has become.

I do not know Carl Brizzi and do not feel that I have adequate information to assess some of the events that have raised so
much concern. I have felt all along that he deserves to be deemed innocent until proven guilty.

[IU football Coach Bill Lynch] is a good man and we’ve all wished for his success, but the Wisconsin game has pretty

I understand and agree [with Mickey Maurer’s Nov. 1 column] that pace, discipline and focus all are important for any
entrepreneur to employ when they are managing their enterprise. However, you have not discussed what I believe is the “real”

I am in agreement with the IBJ position [stated in the Oct. 25 editorial]. It is time to abolish townships and shift

I agree with [Mickey Maurer’s Oct. 4] thoughts on the “Q factor.” In the first 14 years of my career, I

David Copperfield! I remember watching his specials on TV when I was little.
