Your story on my congressman, Esteban Torres, 34th District, Montebello to West Whittier ("Torres, California Omitted From Cabinet Christmas List," Dec. 21), reminded me that quietly effective public servants do us more good than many headline grabbers.
I am an old man now. I remember people like Don Frasier, Minnesota, and Bob Eckhart, Texas and Don Edwards, San Jose; American patriots, as I see them. We used to call such people "statesmen" serving in our legislatures.
