Time to re-read Dickens

Sat., Dec. 10, 2011

Jim Kershner’s Nov. 28 “Scrooge” column was absolutely brilliant. At first I had a lump in my throat that turned to bile as I read the reactions of people to appeals to help the poor. Anyway, although we are retired and hoping our funds don’t die before we do, I’m going to find some extra money somewhere to make up for the greedy Scrooges who should be ashamed of themselves.

I am also going to reread “A Christmas Carol” because I had forgotten just how wonderful it is. It should be must reading for everyone during this season of the year. Thanks for letting me blow off steam. And thank you, Jim Kershner.
