Editor, Manteca Bulletin,

I considered E-mail but thought you might appreciate the “nostalgic” method. I just want to express how much we enjoy the Bulletin on-line. We read it every day.

I am a 65-year-old retired auto body repairman, native Mantecan. My wife Marilyn and I are tied to Manteca through her sister and her husband who live on Mission Ridge Drive Since celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary with them at Isadore’s in 1996 we have been to Manteca, on average every other year. We usually stay 2 to 3 weeks at a time. In doing so, we have come to think of Manteca as a second home or “sister city.” We sincerely have developed an emotional bond to Manteca and her people.

That is why we appreciate your paper, yourself, and your great staff. We love being able to monitor all the news of Manteca and the area via all the exceptional work and writing you do.

Thank you very much.

Larry and Marilyn Sherwin
