OUR LOSS IS gratulatory commending message the good job our school athletic administration is achieving I disagree with just one point which seemed to me to run counter to your point First let me say like to see the beat equipment for developing our students and I believe a new indoor pool should be In Abilene's future The article states the school must on the YMCA for Its swimming pool facilities Speaking for the YMCA tt does not feel imposed upon From the purchase of service i YOUR GAIN'k DOWNTOWN 617 PINE ONLY the Open two years ago as an amateur and Mrs Career each shot par 72 Jan Stephenson who was bunched with Jane Blalock Amy Alcott and Joyce Kaz-mierskl in a second-place tie two strokes behind Stacy at the beginning of the day dropped four strokes back at 147 alter a three-over 75 Cathy Mant of ML Pleasant SC fired a two-under 70 to match the best round of the tourney and joined Pat Bradley Pam Higgins Debbie Austin and Alcott at 149 Blalock slipped to a six-over 78 and is tied at 150 with veteran Kathy Whitworth' and Peggy Conley Betty Lou Crocker and Michele Walker are at 151 and the LPGA's leading money winner this season Judy Rankin Is at 152 with Carol Maim Rankin who has never won the open shot a 77 Friday Kazmierski ballooned to an 83 and a 155 total To The Editor and Sports Writer: As a single parent of one of the baseball players that Glen Altman coached and to all the other viewers I wu very hurt and disappointed when the (Abilene Pony League tournament) article came on Saturday (July 16) about how Glen wasn't thanked for all his time and patience he gave to our boys and how proud he was of all of them Instead he was put down and criticized for leaving (Bobby) Tyree on as Ditcher and we lost the tournament It was his decision not yours to Judge By the way who are you to judge? As far aa the soc ailed committee who kick you in the back for not making the right or wrong decision? I for one could have screamed discrimination but I because this game belongs to the boys not to selfish people that give so little of themselves As for Glen Altman thank (him) for an the patience and time (he) gave to my son which I am very proud of Congratulations on second place Ac for as I am concerned (Altman's) boys are still first place NELLIE KILPATRICK 4818 Edgemont Abilene Texas 79805 PA What would you have done if you had been In Glen Altman's place?
