107 North Wake Street <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />April 20, 1992 <br />Chairman Carey <br />Orange County Commission <br />P.O. Box 8181 <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Chairman Carey: <br />We are writing to urge you to support the construction <br />of an indoor public pool in Hillsborough. The current <br />budget constraints are significant, but this is a project <br />that can be paid for and that will improve our community. <br />We would make regular use of a public pool in our area, <br />and we would urge others to do so. If more of our citizens <br />could learn to swim at a young age, there would be fewer <br />drownings on North Carolina's many lakes and appealing <br />coast. <br />When swimming in other pools in Chapel Hill and Durham, <br />we have seen that swimming is truly family recreation. More <br />than most activities, it can be enjoyed by everyone from <br />small children to grandparents. It is available to people <br />of all ages and all incomes. <br />In addition, swimming is an excellent form of physical <br />therapy. Following a knee operation, Lil has been swimming <br />three times a week to strengthen her legs, but she now must <br />drive to Durham or Chapel Hill before work to do this. <br />We are currently investing quite a lot of time and <br />money in improving our home in Hillsborough on the basis <br />that this community is a fine place to live. A public pool <br />would make it even better. Please support this project. <br />Sincerely, <br />Peter H. Wood <br />i V�_ <br />Lil Fenn <br />
