Walla Walla Union Bulletin (Walla Walla, Washington) > 1968 > July > 21

People in the Service

Sgt. Larry H Owen, 56th Combat Corps, Air Force, arrived home after a year in Thailand where ih was assigned to training men for border police. He has completed four years service in the Air Force.

Sgt. Owen is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Owen, 230 Drumheller and is a graduate of Wa-Hi. He has a brother in the Navy and another brother who served in the Navy and is now teaching at the University of Wisconsin.

=======================

To The Editor

We want to express our earnest opinions in rebuttal to the letter in the Union-Bulletin Aug. 4 by W.W. Switzer.

My husband and I submit an article by William N. Baker, sheriff of Lemhi County, Idaho, which expresses our thoughts on the gun issue exactly. Also an article, "Columbia's Gun Controls," is an eye-opener to folks with common sense.

We have three sons who have all served honorably in the Navy and Air Force, and they heartily agree with the articles. God has seen fit to send them all home safely, for which we are most thankful.

Mr. Switzer writes with high-sounding words, but we wonder what lies beneath? Perhaps he prefers to go on coddling the poor criminal, and brain-wash the law-abiding American into total government control? As citizens, let us think it throug carefully:

MR. & MRS. GEORGE H. OWEN

230 Drumheller St.

(Editor's note: The articles enclosed with the Owen's letter are from "The American Rifleman."
