Voice of sanity will be missed

To the editor:

Last week Cape Girardeau lost an important voice of sanity. Russ Kullberg, a longtime Southeast Missouri State University biology department faculty member, Four Seasons Audubon member and Sierra Club member, departed this Earth. Russ was well-known in the community as an advocate of ecological understanding and environmental concerns and as a proud political liberal and progressive. Those of us who knew Russ, and many who only read his writings, will mourn as do I the passing of one of our more sane, sensitive and thoughtful residents in this community. Russ will be sorely missed by us all.
