Defends Brother

Editor, Times-Union:

This is for a Mr. Steve Jones.

I believe your interpretation of my mother's letter is all wrong. It sounds like you know a lot about a family falling apart and not being responsible.

People do what they have to do to take care of their families, and if that means dropping out of school, then so be it.

You are no better then anybody else. You have no idea what even went on that night, so going back to what I had said before, some opinions are better left unsaid.

Yeah, we are not saying my brother didn't make a mistake by drinking, but who doesn't make mistakes? You know how many people that were drinking that night?

I think it would be best for you not to say anything else on this subject.

Please. if there is anything else you would like to talk about, I would love for you to get a hold of me so we could chat. My number is 527-6169. Thanks.
