<p>Hearts</p>
<p>Hearts to the Key Bank volunteers who worked at Proctor Memorial Park as part of their Neighbors Making a Difference commitment to community service. The seven men and women work at the Beech Grove and Southport branches and really spruced up our park before the Memorial Day weekend. Our community appreciates your efforts.</p>

<p>Grateful hearts to Ryan Trares for the wonderful tribute piece on Proctor Memorial Park and the three outstanding veterans who were featured, Ray Miller, Steve Young and Frank Vaughn.

<p>Hearts to Richard Horton, who took care of the wet paper issue. Hearts to all Daily Journal carriers who make sure their clients’ papers are put in places where they won’t get wet.</p>

<p>Many thanks to Joshua Wright, a kind young man. I had fallen in my backyard and couldn’t get up. He saw me and stopped to help me up and into the house. Thanks, Joshua.{/li}</p>

<p>Darts to the person that took the flowers off my parents’ grave at a Franklin cemetery. I am really aggravated and upset about it. It must be a very low person thinking it was funny.</p>
