Dear Editor:

Unless the Madison County Journal has made an error, it seems the Hudgens’ have made a glaring oversight in their collection of historical documents, which were accepted by the county to be displayed in the government complex building. I haven’t had time to go there to view the collection, but where is the Preamble to the United States Constitution? I memorized it in fifth grade and still remember it now, 50 years later.

Dear Editor:

My family and I built a home in Madison County five years ago. We went through what seemed a normal process; construction loan, finish the house, get an appraisal and the transition into a regular mortgage. Everything went as planned. The house and land appraised for a figure well over what the loan was and the bank was happy to give us a mortgage.

I wish that I could tell you that it would have been a different verdict if it had been a judge who decided, but I can’t.
