SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT
While on a visit to the Olathe Medical Center I happened
to pick up a copy of Ingram’s in the waiting room. As I thumbed
through the pages, I came across the piece you wrote on Kay O’Connor
(Jack Cashill’s Between the Lines, November 2001). After reading
the article, I was both gratified and angry at the same time. First of
all, thanks for setting the record straight on Kay O’Connor by bringing
out all the information that never seemed to be included in the news stories.
Thanks also for confirming my view of the obvious bias the The Kansas
City Star brings to their brand of the news.
I think that your article rightly belonged on the editorial page of the
Star for all to see. I appreciate your effort in setting the record
straight.
Paul Infanti
FROM THE
CHAIRMAN
Many thanks for your recent note and for including copies
of the October and November issues of Ingram’s. Your magazine
is an excellent source of information for the Kansas City business community,
and I was honored to be selected as one of your “Players” in
the November issue.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
WHAT THE
MODERNS HAVE MISSED
Thank you, thank you for a wonderful column about today’s
“modern” households (Jack Cashill’s Between the Lines,
December 2001). As the mom of four great kids, 22-29, and three darling
little granddaughters, I feel nothing but pity for the poor souls wandering
about trying to find peace, hope, love and joy in anything materialistic.
They will never find it, unfortunately.
Raising kids in an era of “finding yourself,” instant gratification,
sex EVERYWHERE, permissive parents (an oxymoron in my book), has been
a huge challenge, but there has been no greater reward! Having recently
walked my daughter down the aisle (you guys have kept this pleasure a
well-kept secret—it surpasses giving birth!), it is just one more
“joy” I am able to chalk up as a Mom.
Motherhood and Fatherhood have been given a terrible rap these past 25
years or so. I’m happy to see someone speak out so eloquently about
what the “moderns” have missed. Pity.

FROM ANOTHER TRADITIONAL
A beautifully written, profound, and thoughtful piece
in the December edition. I’m insuring that my son in college and
my daughter in high school will read it.
I’m a big fan of Ingram’s Magazine. I think you contribute
so positively to the business community of the greater Kansas City area.
In fact, I think your magazine is one of the things that helps to make
the greater Kansas City area an exceptional place to work and live.
My sincere thanks and appreciation for the fine work that you do.

ON DECEMBER PHILANTHROPY
Your December issue looks great. Perfect time
of year to read about good things that our community does to help others.

I just finished your December issue about philanthropy and enjoyed it
very much. It contained a lot of practical, useful information that will
help me as I develop our philanthropic plan. Thank you.

ABOUT THOSE COOKIES
I just wanted to thank you
for the great “cookie” article in Ingram’s (Judy
Ellett’s “First, Take a Girl Scout,” December 2001).
The cookie sale is a great program opportunity for girls and our largest
fund raiser, so we love to get the word out about it! I especially liked
how you covered our fun “dessert” promotion and all the historical
cookie trivia.
Thanks again for your great story and helping to get the word out.
