To the editor, If you’re from Saline County or if you’ve lived in the Marshall area a long time, you likely have heard about our wonderful Indian Foothills Park pool. Maybe even from your parents and grandparents. If you’re even more lucky, you have enjoyed the park and all its amenities. But if now you are an adult and are especially blessed — your parents, your siblings, and now your grown family members and hopefully your grandchildren look forward to and use and love our famed pool at Indian Foothills Park.

When I woke up in the wee hours of this morning (in the still very dark hours), I had a song running relentlessly through my brain. Mind you, this is not an unusual experience for me. This time was a little different, however, because of the song itself. Combined with the state the world is in these days, it struck me as odd that, seemingly out of nowhere, this particular song should find its way into my semi-sleepless night and then hang with me most of the day.
