Editor: May I use your public print to express my regret on learning of Augie Sebastiani’s pending retirement from public life?
Augie’s public utterances and politically inspired recommendations always made it simple for me to do my duty as a civic-minded citizen voter.
Filling out an election ballot was always easy because all one needed to do in order to cast a worthy and productive ballot was to search the press for Augie’s conservative opinion and recommendations and then settle on the contrary view in filling out one’s ballot. Life will never again be so simple for me.
It seems tragic to me that Augie’s political life is drawing to a close so quickly and it brings back ugly memories of the sudden, early termination of his father’s budding career as a California Assemblyman when he expressed the view in public that most of mankind’s troubles could be mitigated by sending some complaining women on a one-way trip into space.
But, anyway, God Speed, Augie.
