Letter to the Editor: "Do you live in Torrance or Downey my hometown?"

I’ve enjoyed and learned from your writing over the years.

I was reading your latest column today in Townhall.com and I was surprised when you mentioned “driving back home to Downey, California“. 

Because I grew up in Downey, and I graduated from Warren High School in 1964.

But then I looked at your biography on Townhall.com, and it says you currently live in Torrance.

So I am, of course, confused.

Torrance or Downey now?

And I was interested in what brought you to Downey, and how long have you lived there?

My brother and sister have also moved far away from Downey, but still in California.

And we have been surprised and disappointed frequently when we hear news of the deterioration of things even in Downey.

For instance, the crime. And the mayor of Downey currently seems to be a radical leftist.

A far cry from Downey Mayor Scott, Temple in the 1960s, who was a family friend and attended our church.

I’m sure you’re busy, maybe won’t have time to even read or respond to this, but I wanted to thank you for your writings and unique perspectives and perhaps you will drop me a note with a brief explanation to the questions I asked.

Sincerely,

DH ‘Deke’ Preacher

Hey, Deke!

I always make the time to respond.

Thanks for writing back! Much appreciated.

I still live in Torrance, but I have been working with fellow pro-family activists in Downey, CA.

Things have improved somewhat in the city:

And in Torrance, too:
