Mary,

Thank you very much for your note. It's appreciated.

Tom

Dear Mr. Troncone: I don't know if you will get this or not. The comments RE: Officer Rachel were closed by the time I logged on. Thank you for your patient replies to all of those, er, individuals who did not read the beginning to see that this was not a stand-alone piece, and thus complained about the writing. Thank you, also, for monitoring and deleting rude and/or sexist comments -- they had no place here, and I'm glad to see people didn't get away with their ignorant anonymouse statements. This was a wondeful piece, and God bless Officer Rachael and all those who pledge to serve and protect.

Welcome again Tom, and for providing us with a Regional Editor for Bergen County contact that's watching the store 24 hours a day.
