I think all four hosts are terrific, but I was dismayed this morning, (Wed.) when Chris talked to the family of the child who survived stomach cancer. It was so insensitive the way the older child was ignored. She should have received a stuffed animal as well. I had two daughters and when one was seriously ill as a child, the other couldn't help feeling neglected - time and interest wise - no matter how hard we tried. Please try to correct this before they leave the building. Thanks. Nina I love GMA and watch it regularly.

Maybe I missed something before friday so here goes. What I saw in McKinney TX and another in Aurora, CO. On the front of the building they have solar panels, in the parking lot they have a wind generator, the play ground has recycled rubber to soften the ground. They have planted shrubs,plants and grass around the parking lot to cleans the water runn off before it goes into the wetland pond. They are using more porous materials in the sidewalks and general areas to let the rain water to go into the ground sooner, rather than run straight to the curb and into the gutter. I'm not a large fan of Wal-Mart because they push the smaller businessman into retirement. Yes they do bring lower prices to one store. There will always be pros and cons with any business, but lets give credit where it belongs if it is do. You did an commentary on Wal-Mart Friday, 9/14 with some enteresting things they are doing.

I partisipate in many world record attemps with our group called "Skydiver Over Sixty" or SOS. It is my goal to get older folks to be more active and stop sitting around with thumbs on T.V. clickers sertching for something exciting to happen when they should be outside having fun and doing things with other seniors or with clubs and volenteer work. I was recently interviewed by the Detroit Free Press, and they did a nice pictorial article about us and we recieved a ton of feedback from seniors as well as many younger people on how to get started being more active. I am also a cancer survivor of twenty six years. I know this is asking a lot, but I could reach so many poeple if I could just get on your show for a few min. in the near future. Thanks for concidering this letter. David "Doc" Ferrazza. I am a sixty six year old pro. skydiver who is very active in the sport, doing about two hundred jumps a year.

They were true heros. They were not afraid to speak their mind about the war while serving their country. Their truck somehow goes off an inbankment and they both die. This I feel is not an accident. I hope someone will look into this. Right now our government is so corrupt, I don't believe anything they say. I think those boys were murdered. Please investigate. PS Robyn, I hope everything is going well for you. I continue to pray for your health. Marilyn The story about the two soldiers that wrote an article touched my heart. They were true heros.

When ever I shop there more than one of my purchases is unusable. Moldy baked goods with several days left on the freshness date, produce that is rotton and/or bruesed on the inside, household goods so poorly made they often times do not make it through the installation process or don't perform once they are installed and clothing improperly and inconsistantly proportioned or sized, are things offered to the people who can least afford them. There are hardly ever enough employees in customer service or the pharmacy and the employees who are there are often poorly trained and don't know how to handle the exchanges and need to call for additional help. I and others have had to wait in lines more than an hour because there was only one person working in these positions who have no sense of how to handle the poition. I am a senior citizen on a fixed income who has to rely on other people for transportation. there is no convenient solution for me when things like this occur. I have to make due with the time that is offered me when I shop and have no way of returning the unusable goods or time to spend in line for an hour to be waited on. I can't afford to pass up the opportunity to save money but it can be a real hard ship for me to come home with purchases I can't use and can't return.

I applaud her and agree totally. If the media would stop giving coverage (pun intended) towhat is distasteful sexual behavior in performances and commercials and programming that appears on almost all channels, I agree that that would be a start to end this kind of message to our young people.

As I listened I wondered if you will look once again on how or if the store is "reinventing" their employee policies regarding work hours, and health benefits, including the price of prescription drugs that employees pay. If so, would you please do air that piece as well? Thank you On Sept 12 at around 7:45 a.m. you did a piece on “Reinventing Wal-Mart”.

It seems apparent that they aren't happy that LaChanze left the show at the end of her contract taking the Tony with her. Politics in show business is alive and well.
