(photo/Pat Bolen) Disappointed in human race I was robbed today and I cannot call the local police to report it. All I can do is write a letter to my fellow citizens of Exeter to express my disap- pointment again in the human race. For the last six months I have been putting items aside for the hospital rummage sale. I do this for every one of the sales thinking that maybe they will get a little extra for some of the things if they go into the auction or make it to the "Nearly New Table." Unfortunately that will not happen this week - I was robbed! Who are you people? You read the local paper to know when the sale is happening and then cruise around picking and choosing. If I wanted you to have those items I would have put your name on them or given them to you personally. I didn't, so therefore you stole them. In so doing, you have stolen my ability to support the hospital. You know as a small community we have struggled to have our hospital survive in very challenging times over the last number of years. The rummage sale is another way for the community as a whole to make this happen. Who are you peo- ple? Are you the same ones who "donate", or should I say off-load your garbage to the rummage sale? This is not a day to get free garbage pick up! It is very disappointing for the volunteers to have to sort through your garbage in an effort to put together a well organized sale for the community. Again I ask, who are you people? Are you the same ones who "donate" expired, half -eaten, open packages of food to the Christmas Bureau? Another group of volunteers spend two weeks try- ing to make Christmas a little nicer for fellow members of the community and are disheartened when this kind of thing happens. We are lucky to have the pool of citizens who continue to volunteer for community betterment, when they are constantly being bombarded with disappointment. They rise above it. If you are reading this paper to see what other community event you can ruin, I sincerely hope you are feeling foolish and embarrassed!
