To the Editor:
This is in response to the Commentary titled “Who Are Your Heroes? My List Begins With Sally Starr” in the March 19 SandPaper. Heroes and acts of heroism stir the minds and actions of young and old alike, often becoming the highly admired exemplars for many.
In the Commentary the definition of the word hero is “any person who has heroic qualities and is regarded as a model or idol.” Happy the Clown and a favorite, Sally Starr, were given as examples.
