Dear Editor, Many years ago I took out a second mortgage on my home. The house had grown in value and had at least $30,000 of equity. At that time, I had multiple reasons.   The second mortgage added a second monthly payment to my already very tight budget. I made both the original payment and the second mortgage payment for a couple years until I was able to refinance both loans into a ten-year fixed interest rate loan. Fortunately, I was able to pay off the ten-year loan in about six years.  Let me hasten to say I would never want…

Dear Editor, Please consider making a donation, no matter its size, for former Kingman resident Glenn Jordan’s inspirational journey from his near fatal experience into charity for others. Glenn and his wife Cindy remain closely connected to Kingman with family and friends in town and a history of community involvement.
