Letters to the Editor
Problem with accuser, not accused
To the Editor:
I feel compelled to voice a
few kinder and gentler words
on behalf of our embattled ad
ministrator, Mr. Kevin Erich.
He is undeserving of the
venomous barbs wantonly
hurled at him recently. It is my
opinion the Mr. Erich embodies
the laudable virtues and ideals
exemplified by the esteemed
Hippocratic Oath. I, personal
ly, have not encountered any
individual making disparaging
comments about Mr. Erich, bar
one. And conversely, to my
knowledge, Mr. Erich has
never jnade derogatory state
ments or harbored ill will or
malice towards any individual,
lyrical composition not with
standing.
If his character were il
luminated by the pristine light
of public scrutiny, it would ap
pear unblemished, unscathed,
unreproachable, and unCola!
Testimony to his innumerable'
accomplishments is simply but
elegantly protrayed by the logo
scribed on the parchment of
this very chronicle, an integra
tion of county health care ser
vices that although not ideal is
an enviable model to emulate.
I would have no reservation
enthusiastically recommending
Mr. Erich for Citizen of the Year
accolades. Although his
achievements are lofty, he no
doubt would choose not be
elevated on a pedestal. Some
may rebuke this proclamation
as solipsistic rhetoric. My retort
to these frivolous, petty claims
is best epitomized by the
adage, "If the shoe fits, wear
it” . Thusly, logic and common
sense would lead one to con
clude if there is indeed a pro
blem, it is rightly not with the
accused, but with the accuser.
Sincerely,
(s) Edward S. Berretta, M.D.
