Letter from Forrest Bachner

Kudos to Bensen and Winchester

I want to commend Robert Bensen and Teresa Winchester for their highly informative article about the West End gas explosion in Oneonta. It is such a huge story in so many ways: the impacts to lives and neighborhoods, the generosity and concern of groups who have helped/are helping, and people’s ongoing struggles to get their lives back.

My thanks to these writers for keeping this story in the public eye.
