Dear Editor:

Throughout the years, I have written several letters which, in essence, take up for the Minden recreation department. At the risk of being redundant, I offer another diatribe towards those who complain, which just happens to coincide with the annual baseball draft.

For those that don't know, I have been involved in the Minden recreation department for 40 years as player, coach, umpire, and just general flunky. I know what it takes to run a baseball league of 1,200 players. And what Winky and his staff do is nothing less than remarkable.
