Letters to the Editor

Only in Leisure World—on Saturday, April 24, at 10:30 a.m., the toilet overflows, and there is wall-to-wall water! I placed a call to Leisure World Security. Ten minutes later, Service Maintenance Plumber Jesus R. Gonzalez was at the door (mind you, I had just attended a virtual Mass). I’m in complete awe. Jesus heads for the bathroom, gets rid of the floor water, mops, sanitizes, fixes the problem and tells me to have a good day—these words after he has already had two other toilet overflows earlier in the morning. What a guy!

This GRF employee was truly a gift to me. Where else but in Leisure World would our cares and needs be addressed so quickly and with such grace? Thank you, Jesus! Well done! You are my hero.

I appreciate the courage it took the Korean-American widow to notify authorities about a racist letter she received that deeply shocked LW. I proudly joined the hundreds of residents who left colorful palm prints on the unity banner now hanging in Clubhouse 6. It shows strong community unity against racism.

The Mutual 2 greenbelt got a makeover (April 29), and copy cats are wanted. This should be a wow for Mutual 2 and a hint to other Mutuals to copy the wonderful idea. Not only do drought-tolerant plantings save a lot of water during our constant California droughts but they can also be eligible for rebates from the OC water district.

Hurry funds may be limited.

This is to acknowledge the receptiveness of the Golden Rain Foundation Board and the Architectural Review Committee that have re-installed the donated sculpture of a couple sitting on a bench outside the Library.

Kudos to Susan Hopewell and Linda Stone and the executive board members, as well as Irma Heinrich, chair of the Architectural Design committee, for their thoughtful action to relocate this statuary to a more sheltering and appropriate placement here in Leisure World.

We also hope that when decorative donations are made in the future, there can either be community input or more than just one Board reviewing the installation options.

The couple now seems quite content in their current setting! Job well done!
