FIRST of all I must tell you
that I am a great admirer of yours and make your site a
must-stop. I defend you to the hilt with others who seek
to tear you down to further their own agendas. I have
stood with you — with great respect.However, I was dissappointed to see the story from AP reported titled “He Got His in Hearse.” I read this, and thought of the families and their grief. I recently lost a 16 year-old son and know the pain of losing a child.
The mother who reported her 23 year old daughter missing would be shocked to know that her daughter’s death was being used as a joke on a web page by a famous and respected historian. With all due respect, I found it sad
— not funny.The comment about the “gene pool” only gives ammunition to your critics. You are better than this. I wanted you to know I appreciate your work
SO much, but this damages your credibility to many and damnit, you ARE a serious historian! The article has no place on the web page of a serious historian — one whom I have great respect for and I hope receives this in the spirit in which it was sent.
