Peaceable Kingdom- Leslie Gilmore The December issue of Tex Appeal Magazine looks incredible. Thank you for great highlight on Leslie Gilmore and Peaceable Kingdom and the fantastic story on Variety. You have my sincere gratitude for helping us connect your audience to our mission to empower children with special needs. -ERICKA MITCHELL, Killeen
Ride the Rails Thank you for the article on Amtrak. I enjoy train travel and hopefully your article will entice others to ride the rails. It is worth noting that Amtrak also provides a shuttle bus from the downtown Killeen bus station to the Temple train station and back. Some people may find that more convenient than parking in Temple. -JEAN GARCIA

February is the American Heart Month I enjoy reading each issue of Tex Appeal and appreciate the topics and community activities you cover each month. I am writing to ask if you will be talking about the prevention of heart disease in your February issue? Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of both men and women in the United States. Heart disease kills more women each year than all forms of cancer put together. February is designated as American Heart month and the goal is to bring attention to heart disease and its prevention. Heart health education is the key to prevention. An article in your magazine about heart health would help educate our community. Speaking as a coronary artery bypass patient, I know the value of heart health education in coping with the disease and in keeping incidents at bay.I am passionate about heart disease prevention and speak to as many community groups throughout the year as possible. I am actively involved with Mended Hearts, a national support group for heart patients and their caregivers, the American Heart Association,I also serve on the annual local heart gala, and WomenHeart, a national support group for women heart patients. As an advocate for heart disease prevention, I would appreciate whatever you could do, through your publication to help educate our community and save lives. -MILLIE HENN, Temple We’d LOVE to hear from you.
