I wanted to reach out and compliment Mr. Brown, of CMCH for his opinion piece in the CMCH 09.21.22 edition. Well written and spot-on for what I still hope is a large segment of American attitudes. Sadly, sometimes I think that we'd prefer to forget that almost all of us, came from somewhere else. I guess, we are too many generations removed from "being off the boat", like my parents from Italy. America has been pretty great for me for the last seven decades. Humbly, I suggest that empathy is one of the most important attribute's a person can have. I hope we can find it again.
