Post Letter: Homecoming needs recap
Oct. 21, 2009It really sucks that all The Post has about Homecoming were two pictures with two small captions under each photo. There should have been a whole page with pictures of the Homecoming weekend events, and at least a article of everything that happened. I'm really disappointed in The Post for it's lack of creativity, and not supprised by it's laziness NOT to put together anything substantial about Homecoming weekend. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!

Post Letter: Issue 6 will give Meals on Wheels the tune-up it needs
Oct. 21, 2009Twenty-six years ago, I was the public relations director at the Hocking Athens Perry Community Action agency. One of my jobs was to write stories about the programs the agency operating. One of those programs was Meals on Wheels. One autumn day, I went out with a driver who was delivering those meals in the Jacksonville area. The Meals on Wheels program delivers a hot, cooked meal to senior citizens who are low income and homebound. The noon meals that the driver brought allowed them to have at least one cooked meal a day, but it gave them more than that, it gave them a few moments of companionship. The arrival of the Meals on Wheels driver met a few moments of conversation and those moments were just as important as the meal.

Post Letter: Marching 110 deserves kudos for Homecoming parade
Oct. 19, 2009Late in 1966, Gene Thrailkill decided the band at Ohio University was in need of a drastic change. He had little support for his idea. Out were the Ivy League green blazers and ties. Out were the Majorettes. In was a drastically new uniform, a demanding marching style, and, of course, dance routines. Mr. Thrailkill says, I knew the drive-on and first note of Stand Up and Cheer would make or break the band. Most wanted us to fail; but I knew it was where we needed to go. Of course, the wisdom of Mr. Thrailkill's decision has been born-out over time. The Marching 110 never looked back.
Post Letter: 'Post' Web site format must become easier on the eyes
Oct. 19, 2009I'm writing to express concern about The Post's online home. Reading stories on The Post's Web site is unbearable. I'm not talking about the content, just the formatting of the actual stories. I have good eyes and don't mind reading size-9 font, but the width of the page is completely unreasonable. Have you ever seen a newspaper print text the whole way across the paper? I have a widescreen laptop, and if I maximize my browser, I can fit the story onscreen, but it borders on unreadable. It goes against the basics of Web design and news layout, and is an unforgivable problem on a site whose sole purpose is to deliver news.
