To the law firm representing the plaintiffs: You have obviously followed the law in accepting Judge Leonard Costello’s ruling that the Gherings pay plaintiff’s legal fees.

As a person over 60 years old who has no real knowledge of the judicial system, I learned long ago that what is considered legal is not always just or moral; that is definitely the case in this occasion.

It is painful watching nearly 50 years of kindness and community service destroyed because of your greediness.

I suggest that you watch the movie, “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

In case you haven’t noticed, the community is attempting to rally around the family business;. However, $750,000 is a near miracle for us.

Perhaps you could be like the bank examiner in the movie and tear up your exorbitant “award.”

Merry Christmas.
