IT’S TIME TO GIVE THANKS

Thank you. We say it so often that you’d think the overexposure would

threaten its meaning. If you aren’t saying it, then perhaps it already

has.

The Independent is seeking submissions of 100 words or less,

explaining why you are thankful this year. We’ll print some of them in an

upcoming issue.

Responses may be mailed to the Independent, 18682 Beach Blvd., Suite

160, Huntington Beach, CA 92648; faxed to (714) 965-7174; or sent by

e-mail to o7 hbindy@latimes.comf7 .

Please include your name, hometown and a telephone number for

verification. The deadline is Tuesday. And thank you.
