Another " no fan of facebook ".

     Craig O'Connor of Providence made a valid point about being able to make on- line comments in the Providence Journal only via Face Book membership ( Letters, Feb. 6,  " No Fan of Facebook ") .  I rarely care to  waste time with the on-line circus anymore.  But  in a recent letter( " America's Moral Catastrophe " , Jan. 27 )  I had to mention the ghastly condition of my mentally ill brother's body when my sister and I were bringing him a lithium refill.  A certain  Dana commented - not foolishly- that  poor Ray's condition suggested a neglectful family. Nothing could be further from the truth. But I  am still awaiting the autopsy report for some explanation for this horror. Also, a few more lines could have " humanized " poor ,dear Ray. He was a devout Catholic to the end - not unmindful of the meaning of Ash Wednesday. May he rest in peace !
           But  I could not reply to  Dana's  reasonable comment.  I do belong to the 20th century. I still remember handwritten letters -to-the- editor.
