Congratulations, Lynda, Gulfport's Commenter of the Week!

Gulfport Patch encourages everyone to take part in the conversation! So, every week we're going to highlight and thank a Gulfport Patch reader who commented on one or more stories that week.

We greatly appreciate when readers share their thoughts in a respectful manner and agree to disagree. Loyal reader is again, a "Commenter of the Week." We thank for commenting on several stories and blogs including:

• Do You Think Obama is 'Out of Touch?'
• Florida Winery is a Family Affair
• Flea Control in Florida: Searching for That Magic Bullet
• Vacation In Our Nation: Finally Here!

Check out this excerpt from one of Lynda's comments under "Do You Think Obama is 'Out of Touch?": 

"Mr. Obama has personal experience as a ordinary American; his wealth from writing his books is recent. President Obama is also a stickler for good manners and treating all people with respect. I think President Obama tries very hard to stay in touch with what ordinary people are doing and thinking. I don't think Mr. Romney cares very much or knows very much about the life of ordinary Americans so he doesn't even try."

Lynda also commented under "Florida Winery is a Family Affair":

"The wine from Florida Orange Groves Winery makes an unforgettable gift with true local flavor."

Thank you, Lynda, for sharing your thoughts and views on Gulfport Patch!
