RESPONSE TO: 77 Survivors are NYC’s Newest Principals
To the Editor:
I read your article on Mr. Verone Kennedy. His story inspired me to be a better person. I am a single mom raising two teenage girls and education is the most important thing you can give your child. They can take everything from you but not your knowledge.

RESPONSE TO: Autistic Spectrum Disorder
To the Editor:
This is a very interesting article. I have an 8-year-old boy with Tourette disorder/Aspergers with OCD/ADHD! Wow, has it been difficult. Public education has been extremely difficult with very little support. Can you add anything to comorbid disorders?

RESPONSE TO: Dr. Rebecca H. Cort Deputy Commissioner, NYS Vesid
To the Editor:
Impressive, but I would like to know what opportunity can Vesid offer a 30 year old young man, my son, who has been out of school for about 10 years. He has a keen mind, but unfortunately suffered from a mood disorder. He is much better and would like to go back to school. Can Vesid help retrieve AP high school credits from NYIT for him, even though they were acquired so long ago?

RESPONSE TO: Dr. George Alexiades, Pioneer in Cochlear Transplants
To the Editor:
I lost my hearing when I was three years old from encephalitis. I had some hearing, but needed hearing-aids, which I was fitted with when I was 6 years old. I am 68 now, have tinitus so bad I need prescription medication in order to go to sleep at night. Please inform me whether I will still have tinitus after a cochlear ear transplant. I am very good lip-reader and have fairly good speech for someone my age. I began talking at an early age before my hearing loss.
