Several people have commented on the sudden disappearance of my ponytail over the weekend; so many that I thought it was easier to write a column about it.
My wife has gotten similar comments on the disappearance of her beautiful long hair.
The short answer is that our hair is currently on its way to Locks of Love, a non-profit organization that makes wigs for children with long-term medical hair loss.
The long answer is much more complicated.
This past February, my stepfather, Arthur Bonsaint, died from pelvic cancer after a long, hard-fought battle.

Ching Veillon will be missed. Ching passed away last Thursday leaving behind a host of family and friends.
I first met Ching on the tennis circuit years ago. I enjoyed her laughter, smile and upbeat attitude on-and-off the court.

Thanks city for help

Many thanks to the mayor, city workers and our council representative Bubba Bourque for the fine way our neighborhood is now being maintained, including the spraying program.

After-hours effort
Editor, The Eunice News:
This is to thank the city workers who came at night and unstopped the sewer line on Amazon Street.
Their names are Jermaine Shillow and Otis Guillory.

Editor, The Eunice News:
The members of our city government deserve praise for a job well done.
In May, I wrote a letter to the editor outlining the improvements needed at Circle Park.
In June, I spoke at the City Council meeting. Mayor Morris was very supportive and took immediate action to resolve the issue.
The morning after the meeting, he and I spoke on the phone and he assigned Brian Joiner to oversee the park project.

Thanks to all

The David family would like to express their appreciation for all those who extended a helping hand to the benefit for Veronica Frey David.
