A woman named Wanda was up early, read today's column and sent this note:

"I am one of those who got a listing from you about two years ago or more.  My husband called about a good 95% of them jobs, filled out applications and went on several interviews.  Sorry...that's all he's heard.  He has even received letters stating that he was denied employment because of his previous record. He has been home and out of trouble since 2006.  He's not either on parole or probation and still can't find a job.  My husband is a very hard worker when he works.  But it seems that a lot of people aren't willing to hiring ex-offenders.  He is very discouraged but continues to look, to no avail. I would greatly appreciate a new listing.  Hopefully something good will come from your new list. Thanks, sincerely."
