Editor:

I am writing with a question for Mr. Robert Montoya, who wrote the vituperative letter about our Commissioner Mr. Mel Friedman. Did you talk with Mr. Friedman about your concerns? I have had numerous occasions over the years to communicate with Mr. Friedman, and I would like to assure Mr. Montoya that he will never find a better listener, a better or more kindly person than Mel Friedman to serve our community. It would have been a kindness on his part to call Mel Friedman and voice his concern, rather than writing such a letter.  

Cancer is a horrible disease that prematurely ends far too many lives. In America, those who are diagnosed with cancer face an added worry — the costs of their treatment.
