RERUNS ON TOTA GETTING PUTRESCENT

YOUR PAPER and Neal Thompson should have published a special edition on Frank Tota, instead of taking the space for current news that readers are interested in. We've been exposed to his activities for the past 10 years, and the reruns are getting putrescent!

I suggest that Mr. Thompson write a book for the Tota followers: "Frank Tota, Crowned King of Roanoke School System."

How the city fathers have applauded him, bowed, bent over backward, stooped, bent, kissed, patted and padded. When a board meeting is held, they march around dancing and singing, "Put another dollar in, in the dollarodeon." (The nickel won't fit in here!) VIRGINIA MITCHELL ROANOKE
