Debbie Shank still a wife and mom

To the editor:

Jumping from job to job obviously is wrong, according to Scott Moyers. His first statement in his front-page article downs Debbie Shank, who has had more than one job. So have I. Am I doing something wrong? Please tell me Moyers did not just wake up one morning without ever working a day in his life and decide to be an editor for the Southeast Missourian. Everyone goes from job to job to see what is for them. Why would Moyers down the Shank family and exploit them? I am sure that, after all they have dealt with, they really would like to see those pictures in the article. Debbie may be crippled, but she is still a wife and mom. Her family loves her more than anything. I know firsthand how much she means to them.

Jim Shank is one of the finest men there is in Jackson, and he doesn't deserve the article written nor does he deserve Wal-Mart's scam. Since when does Wal-Mart need more money? Working at Wal-Mart after a year you get insurance. Going by this case, if you get injured you or your family has to pay them back. I'm telling you right now if I had a lawsuit like this and it was my mom, I'd fight until I died. And believe me, Jim Shank will fight hard too.
