Dear Editor:

WANTED:
Friday Afternoon Club (a local group of friends meeting every Friday for the past 25 years) is looking for an individual to join our group. This individual must be fun loving, spirited, able to walk into a room and make everyone laugh. Must love singing, playing the organ and the kazoo. Must be the type of individual that can wear a derriere into a classroom full of students to relieve stress prior to an exam. Must be intelligent, dedicated to your beliefs and know how to use these skills for the betterment of the community. I could go on forever and still not sum up all the special qualities of Barb Monroe. What she brought to our group was so special that we will forever feel a void in our gatherings. To think that one sad individual could take all of this away from us is beyond belief. I read today with disbelief that the NRA had the audacity to hold a pro-gun rally in our great city just two days after this horrific event. They should all be ashamed. This city is better than that, and I hope that the citizens will come out in force and vote against any pro-gun candidates. Lets channel our grief into something positive for our community.

Sincerely,

Tim Lorenzen
A Tucson Native
