Letter from Charlie Bremer

Explosion Article Was Well Crafted

It was informative to read the fine article that Teresa Winchester and Robert Bensen wrote for “Hometown Oneonta” regarding the aftermath of December’s explosion in Oneonta’s West End.

With such an ongoing mess, the loss of life, as well as the many lives disrupted, the incident deserved the highest standard for reporting which they brought to the article.

The explosion rocked everyone in the surrounding area…literally. At the time, members of our family were picking up takeout dinner just a couple blocks away. Thoroughly unnerving.

Kudos to “Hometown Oneonta” for giving the extra necessary space to tell this ongoing story. Much appreciated.
