Re:  Adoption of "Heaveno" (Positive Greeting)

Date:  January 7, 1998
 

Dear Mr. Greenawalt,

The "Hello" greeting is a "generational curse" on our language and society.

The time has come to break this negative paradigm.

This responsibility rests upon us all!  If our children  could just but glimpse at their imminent future, they would demand it!

We have a sacred obligation to posterity to help create a world worthy of being inherited!

The adoption is stated as follows:

1. I am respectfully requesting a unanimous vote, January 13, 1998, adopting Kingsville's and Kleberg County's official greeting "Heaveno" for use in our Kingsville Independent School District's Kindergarten and Elementary schools.
    

This daily salutation would help to emphasize "Heaveno" as a symbol of Peace, Friendship, and Welcome among our impressionable youth who thirst for direction and look to us for positive leadership!

Respectfully,

Leonso Canales, Jr.
