Dear Editor,

Since it is usual to hear complaints on most subjects, this will be a note with a difference.  As much as people complain that the Western Highway is in terrible repair, we must admit that the repair crews do a tremendous job with what they have to work with.  Without them, the road would be useless at more than ten miles per hour, and even then hard on the tires. These guys keep the road usable. Without them, we would spend hours, rather than minutes, to get from Belmopan to Cayo. While nothing in this world is perfect, these guys are out there making our world a little easier and safer. Some kudos for people who really try.

Please don’t use my real name.  It is the workers we are trying to honor.

Don Smith
