I would just like to take a moment of your time to say that I was moved to tears once again while I was reading an email from Schell Brothers who are building our new house in Lewes. My wife Barbara and I have lived in Newtown, Conn. since 1976. We have raised our three sons in the Newtown school system. They continued through college and grad school and have great careers.
The shootings were close to home as one of my neighbors was killed; the other was the only child to escape from a classroom with the shooter present. We are both very moved by the brothers, Donald and Damian Richard, and Joe and Heidi Fuller who took there hearts and energy to create a memorial for the Newtown victims. We feel very positive about our future move to the Lewes community.
