Get Well
I woke up this morning to news that local Democrat and labor activist Lettie Oliver was hospitalized last night.
She was taken to Community East. It’s unclear why she was taken or what her condition is.
Despite our huge differences on labor and union issues, Lettie has always been a good friend and her charm and demeanor is very much like my own mother. One day I will tell you the story of how when I told her I was getting married, she gave me one the best lectures on marriage and told me if I screwed it up she would come after me with a stick.
All the best for a speedy recovery, Lettie.

I wonder if it was complications surrounding her foot? It's been a boot for like the last five years…

I met Lettie very briefly at the Marion County fair this past year. She was working a booth (I can't recall if it was for a labor group or for the Democratic Party). I wasn't sure what she made of my shirt that had the word “Libertarian” boldly displayed across the front, but she was very nice.
Hope she is doing okay.
