Dear Sir,

Please tell me this “Citizens advisory committee” is not serious. They are planning to pave Revolucion (the street the Wednesday market is on)? Why is it these Gringos move down here and expound how much they like Mexico and then want to start changing things? I guess they miss the mess they made of things up North.

Dear Editor:

There were no phone number or contact info on the members of the council (GR-Sept. 7-13). Will this be limited only to LCS Members or will the general public be able to use the service? There were too many questions left unanswered.

Dear Sir,

In Dale Quinn’s article “Distillers eye new mega market as China opens doors to tequila”(GR August 31-September 6, 2013), second paragraph, “While only a trace, the methanol content in tequilas ……..exceeded regulation levels for Chinese imports.”

Dear Sir,

It seems that nobody loves a lake where the water level keeps going down. Where the mud turns green as grass grows where the water once was and the number of visitors to our lake side declines the farther the water recedes from our handsome Malecons.

Dear Sir,

Having lived in Mexico for six and a half years I find that, unfortunately, there are still many non-Mexican people who still consider the Mexican stereotype as a lazy person who sits under a tree and does nothing all day.  

Dear Sir,

I would like to thank everyone for helping send my mom, Jeanne Chaussee, off in a manner that she would have approved of 100 percent. It couldn’t have been better (unless she had actually been there). Thank you so much to the people, restaurants and groups that donated food, time, money, tequila, wine and moral support. I could not have pulled it off myself.

The planning committee was amazing, as was the Delegado of Ajijic, Hector España, who drove me around trying to find fireworks, dancing horses and a calandria. The decorations were breathtaking. Jeanne loved paper flowers, thank you for making them.

I’m planning on staying here at Lakeside – this is my home. I will continue to work at the Guadalajara Reporter office in Plaza Bugambilias, taking care of my advertisers and Jeanne’s clients. The Tarahumara Project will also continue on.  Next up is the Tarahumara Rain Dance at the end of July.

Again, thank you all for celebrating an amazing woman who won’t soon be forgotten.
