Speeding vehicles at Broadway and Wayland

Editor’s note: The Gilroy Dispatch receive the following letter to the soon to be Gilroy High School seniors. Since many of the GHS class of 1982 are turning 50 this year, Lois Harrison composed a “short letter of what we hoped someone had told us before our senior year.” 

More than 2,400 years ago, the Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to fallen soldiers that still applies to the more than 1 million Americans who have died in combat: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.”

Dear editor,

Friday, May 9 was the final straw for me.

Attorneys with the Gilroy’s legal firm of choice, Berliner-Cohen, and the city administrator are penning their way around state law and holding up multiple efforts by the Gilroy Dispatch to obtain the names of six public safety retirees who claimed an industrial disability within the past five years.
