COLUMBUS, Ohio - He called himself Bobby Charles Thompson and gave himself the rank of lieutenant commander as he headed a nationwide nonprofit for U.S. Navy veterans. Donations solicited by telemarketers poured in to his U.S. Navy Veterans Association from around the country - largely individual gifts under $50 - piling up tens of millions of dollars intended for veterans' needs and other military causes.
DEAR ABBY: I'm an only child. My parents moved three miles from my husband and me after our first daughter was born. They were determined not to miss a minute of her life. Mom's life has always been centered around Dad, my daughters and me. She has never approved of my husband because he didn't finish college and enlisted in the military, unlike Dad, who has two master's degrees and retired from the Navy as a lieutenant commander. She regards my husband as the "sperm donor," and that's about all the credit he gets.
Former Navy football players have distinguished themselves in the line of duty. Marine First Lieutenant Brian Stann comes to mind, the class of '03. He won the Silver Star. We also have some of the former Navy football players lose their lives: Ron Winchester of '01; J.P. Blecksmith of the class of '03; another gave his life in flight over the Pacific, Navy Lieutenant Commander Scott Zellem, the class of '91. The United States of America will not forget their sacrifices.

We are disappointed with the politics locally in Rancho Cucamonga and within our state of California, and that is why with heavy consideration we have chosen to support Navy Lieutenant Commander Paul Chabot for State Assembly. He is a true conservative who supports and enacts Republican ideals. Mayor Don Kurth has a history of vacillating between liberal ideals and current popular ideals. Kurth was quoted as saying, "Obama is good for the country," when clearly from a Republican standpoint this is not the case. Mr. Mayor, voters will no longer be fooled by you and shame on you for not standing up for what is right as a true, conservative politician.
YARMOUTH - Charles E. "Stick" Stickney Jr., 89, died Dec. 3, 2011, after a fall while hanging holiday garlands over the front door of Cutter House, the home he loved. He died as he lived, active to the end. Stick was a man of intense energy and many passions. He was passionate about work, and giving back to the community. He was devoted to his loving wife of 63 years, Anita, and to his children and grandchildren. His boundless energy gave credence to the catch phrase among many of his octogenarian friends that "80 is the new 60." One of eight children, Stick grew up in Portland. He graduated from Deering High School in 1940, and was part of University of Maine's class of 1944, where he majored in mechanical engineering. He interrupted his education when he joined the Navy in 1943 and be...
