Joe, watch out for spitballs

To the editor:

I recently stumbled across Joe Sullivan's column on the Weaver Walking School Bus while searching for another article.

I wonder if Joe had to contend with sex offenders, speeding cars or childhood obesity when he walked to school so many years ago.

As a coordinator (and "driver") of this project, I find Joe's attitude very disturbing.

I think if Joe lived in our community and watched our children walk to school, he would feel the same sense of pride as the rest of our neighbors.

Joe, (I am not making this up) you need a reality check. And no, I don't watch for spitballs, but maybe you should.
