Dear Wengert Family,

It is with great sadness that I read today's obituary in the Boulder City Review for Al Wengert. Please see my Letter To The Editor for next week's paper.

Sending you all love at this very sad time,

Honoring Al Wengert

When reading the August 31st BC Review, I glanced at the obituary column, pretty sure, like always, I wasn't going to recognize any of the names. In glancing at the three people listed, it was a sad shock to read that Albert (Al) Wengert had passed. What a loss for Boulder City.

Being a new kid on the block when we moved here in 2005, my real education in Boulder City politics came from the few outspoken people writing Letters To The Editor in this paper. Al Wengert was one of them. Oh boy, could Al entertain as well as educate! He stood up and shot from the hip. For a sleepy little town, that's a big deal.

Bravo to you Al Wengert. Boulder City has lost an intellectual giant who wasn't afraid of being counted. Thank goodness we have a few left, but a giant is a giant. You'll be missed by many, and sincere condolences to your family.
