Also, maybe find a local rape crisis center and spend a little time helping the people Flowers is harming. You at least owe us that.— James Landrith, Alexandria, Va., james@jameslandrith.comGive Penn State its dueNASA recently announced its 2017 class of 12 astronaut candidates from a pool of 18,300 applicants. One of those astronauts is Zena Cardman, a graduate student in geosciences at Penn State. She follows an illustrious path blazed by four astronauts from Penn State, including Guion Bluford Jr., the first African American astronaut. Cardman may very well travel to Mars.The Inquirer did not report this brilliant achievement.. Instead, it continues to focus on the horrific child sex abuse scandal and the disgraceful behavior of frat boys. How about giving the real students of Penn State their fair share of coverage and highlighting some of this positive news?— Ashvin Hosangadi, JamisonHelp end Alzheimer’sIf you have a brain, you can be affected by Alzheimer’s, the degenerative brain disease – even as young as 30 years old.
