  They love Fresno

  May I, through the medium of The Bee, extend our thanks to the people of the Fresno area for the warmth, courtesy and friendship they showed myself and my wife during our holiday in this area.

  You are wonderful people and we are grateful to you all.

  Your columnist, Andrew Fiala, offers some of the best analysis and thoughtful considerations of not only ethics, but the current state of the "human condition." The May 5 column, regarding borders and boundaries was especially poignant. Thanks to him, and to The Bee for publishing his insights.

  Open Fresno veterans home

  I've been reading in The Bee about the home for veterans standing empty and homeless vets unable to afford housing. Why not let our veterans fill and staff that facility?

  Gov. Jerry Brown needs to cut the red tape and let the veterans use the home that was built for them.

  Angel's contributions

  It was with surprise, as well as great pleasure, I read in the April 21 Fresno Bee Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down column that Angel Arellano had been named a Gates Millennium Scholar by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

  It was nine years ago, in December 2003, that Angel, on her own, initiated an effort that in my humble opinion did much to save Fresno's Chaffee Zoo. At that time, I wrote (and you published) my letter and encouraged Fresno citizens to rally behind Angel's efforts for the zoo. That effort, Measure Z, helped make the Fresno Chaffee Zoo what it is today.

  I hope that The Bee will continue to follow Angel's progress and, who knows, maybe she will win a Nobel Prize.
