Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

In Sam Klug’s recent article (Light Blue finally out of own shadow, Jan. 24) he questions the power of Punxsutawney Phil. I know the article was in fun, but Phil does read the paper. He rolled over, grunted, and went back to sleep … after all, it is the hibernation season. Phil usually sticks to weather predicting ... but don’t mess with the seer of seers, the prognosticator of prognosticators … no one can be sure of the expansive nature of his powers. I wouldn’t want future games to be “influenced” because of slurs made by Mr. Klug. Never underestimate the power of Phil. He watches all, he reads all, and he is 100 percent accurate in his predictions of the weather ...

From Gobbler’s Knob,
In Punxsutawney Pennsylvania,
Happy Groundhog Day,
