We Lose Lots Of Letters
The town was full of rumors as to why the the letters were not being published a why a letter from Democratic State Central Committee member David Singer blasting District 4 Congressional Candidate Lee Whitnum.
The latest rumor was that the Greenwich Time Webmaster might have been fired by the Hearst Newspaper Group.
Please see:
08/11/08 Has Hearst Newspapers Fired The Greenwich Time Web Master
Well rumors of the webmaster's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
The Greenwich Time webmaster has came out of the self induced coma and is burning up the internet by posting four letters in less than an hour.
Usually, the Greenwich Time only posts one letter a day to it's website. A few years back I do recall seeing two letters posted in one day.
But I have never ever noticed four letters published in less than an hour.
Would someone please call the Guinness Book Of World Records or Ripley's Believe It Or Not .

Letters to the Greenwich Time Editor.....
To the editor:
There was nothing "off" on Thursday night at the Off Beat Players' first production of "Nunsense".
Director Brian Ciccone turned the small space at Arch Street teen center into a Broadway theater. The script was hysterical, the music incredible and the cast - young people with and without disabilities - brilliant.
Those who missed the show missed a wonderful display of courage, dedication and talent of our town's finest.

I am very disappointed that Sarah Darer Littman is no longer one of your writers. I think it's very important to have liberal columnists as well as conservative columnists and to have them speak their minds openly.
Although I do not usually write letters to newspapers, despite being opinionated, I have to say that Lee Whitnum, a candidate for U.S. representative, should have persons denouncing her. She spoke up at a speech given by Alan Dershowitz recently and did not inspire any credibility, although she was brave to challenge him.
I do hope you will reconsider Ms. Littman's dismissal.

The Aug.1 edition of Greenwich Time reported ExxonMobil profits of $11.68 billion for the second quarter. I would be curious to see what would happen if consumers stopped buying ExxonMobil.
Everyone has someone to blame for the price of oil. I don't know what to believe anymore. But if this is the wave of the future, maybe it is time for a date to be set for production of only hybrid vehicles. It would be good for the consumer and the environment.

So Greenwich Time columnist Bernie Yudain is the big 9-0. (I am nearing age 90.) I have read his column religously all these many years, and have derived much pleasure from his written words.
Speaking of that, I have often had to use my trusty, well-worn dictionary. His vocabulary is amazing! I once suggested that English teachers use his column in class to provide a guide to increasing students' vocabulary.
I particularly enjoy Bernie's frequent references to Greenwich as it used to be. I can relate as a "townie" who has lived through all the unbelievable, amazing changes. My love for Greenwich has never wavered. I will live here until "my time" arrives.
Long ago, my dad, a popular and savvy merchant on Greenwich Avenue, wisely invested in Greenwich property. His family is sure glad he did!
Please, Bernie, stay well and keep writing, and I will keep reading. I promise.

Whitnum is to blame for lack of convention role

In her "rebuttal" to Sarah Darer Littman's column July 22, petitioning candidate Lee Whitnum claimed that she was somehow shut out of the nominating convention to select the Democratic Party's candidate for Connecticut's 4th Congressional District ("Column was an unfair attack on 4th District campaign," Greenwich Time Opinion page, July 25). This is the second time this claim has appeared in Greenwich Time.
Well, it's time someone set the record straight.
As a delegate to that convention, and a member of the party's State Central Committee, I can tell you that she was in no way "shut out," for the simple reason that she made no attempt to be represented.
Ms. Whitnum did not even show up at the Democratic Town Committee meeting where delegates to that convention were elected.
Ms. Whitnum also claimed that she was going to speak at the nominating convention, apparently not knowing that candidates (or prospective candidates) do not normally speak on their own behalf other than to accept the party's endorsement. Of course, the latter claim is moot, as she did not show up at the convention in any capacity, or even find a single delegate who would place her name in nomination or seek out any other opportunity to be heard at the convention. No supporter of hers was in evidence at the Democratic Town Committee or at the convention - probably because I have yet to meet a single Democrat who supports her or believes anything she says or stands for.
