Sports Day was good event, but got little notice

To the editor:

It is amazing that when something like an anthrax hoax will get the attention of every news agency from coast to coast, but when something good happens it seems to go unnoticed. On Sunday, my wife and I took our daughter to Houck Stadium for the Southeast Sports Day. It was a little depressing that none of the local press were in attendance. More so the turnout was not very good. There were only a handful of kids.

All in all, everyone had a great time. These are some outstanding athletes. I hope the attendance does not discourage them from doing this sort of thing in the future. Thank you, Southeast Missouri State University.
