            I feel compelled to write this letter since the administration at Freehold High School refuses to take responsibility for their actions and continues to deny culpability in my "forced retirement."

Drivers have the responsibility to drive safely and courteously. Only then will traffic flow without accidents.

            I want to thank my VFW Post 9691 and the community for their support over the past three years. Our quest for a post home continues. Our post will forge ahead until we achieve our goal. A councilman from our town said at a Township Council meeting that no municipality has ever given land or property to a VFW post for a meeting place. He is incorrect.
