I’m hoping that someone out there who knows more than I about rain gutters, who has done work on their own gutters similar to what I’m considering, or who has used one of the companies I’m considering, will be able to provide some helpful insight and advice… We use Ned Stevens (NS) to clean our… Read More »
To: letterstoeditor@bostonherald.com To the editor: On Dec. 10, Joe Fitzgerald wrote about Irina Koltoniuc, his favorite Christmas-loving Jew, for the sixth time (“Jewish immigrant champions Christmas”).

I sent email to the mayor’s office last week asking him to comment on the two vehicles from his office which were spotted downtown parked illegally in a bus stop. There has been no response. Dave Wedge ran a blurb about my photos in his “Pols & politics” column in today’s Boston Herald. Perhaps that’ll… Read More »
