Friday’s column concludes my roundup of reader emails on recent(ish) columns. Topics include used bookstores, whether JFK was truly our youngest president, Pomona’s inclusion (or not) in the Inland Empire and the Upland City Council’s birthday timeliness.

I was glad to get these, and last Sunday’s, in print before year’s end. (Notice I slipped them in during a slow news week.)

I do have a third column of reader comment, on my piece from (gulp) Sept. 8 on my habit of picking up change, coming soon, but it may have to wait until the first week of January.
