An Independence Day Reflection: “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe…”

July 4, 2008

I have an ongoing love-hate relationship with “the little village of Lodi,” as Paul Zimmerman referred to it regularly when writing about local events in the Lodi News-Sentinel while I was growing up here in the 1960’s and ’70’s.

4. Work Quickly and Efficiently
