Dear editor, My daughter has been involved with Future Farmers of America through the great program at Vintage High School for the past two years. Heidi Vietor does a great job inspiring the students and keeping the level of enthusiasm high. I salute the bidders at this year’s 4-H/FFA livestock auction. You are the heart and soul of our lovely valley and its lifestyle. You have my profound respect.

Dear editor, This is amazing! Has anyone else noticed this?

Dear editor,As a sponsor of the Napa Community Bank Building Art Competition (for both adults and children) and the Children’s Recycled Art Competition, I would like to recognize and thank the staff and volunteers of the Napa Valley Expo for their hard work and dedication to making the Napa Town and Country Fair a success. In working with us they had to coordinate the delivery of certificates for the winners and gather the entries for us to pick up after the fair was over.

Dear editor, In a presidential election year that Democrats could not lose, what do we have? The Democratic National Committee has pushed forward a lightweight, unready-to-lead junior senator — one with no significant accomplishments who has questionable judgment in regard to mentors and professional associates in Chicago. The sure-to-lose Republicans selected an experienced senator, military pilot, a country hero and POW from a painful time in our past.

Dear editor, First and foremost, we would like to thank the Register for the wonderful story on Meals on Wheels and our remarkable drivers (“Couple, 90 and 88, make rounds with Meals on Wheels,” Aug. 3).
