To the Editor:

Kudos to you, The Best Times, and Gary Swanson for the "Heroes" section of the November issue. This edition will surely be a keeper for many of your readers.

Also enjoyed your article on Pat Paton. I knew his father and mother. His father's association was known as the South Central Business Association. As its last president in 1969, I assisted in getting 50 years of business events (1919–1968) to the Missouri Valley Room for posterity. Pat Junior's story includes a family relationship with Walt Disney.
