- Letters for Aug. 9
- August 8, 2004
- I would like to respond to an article in Friday’s paper about our probation officers Mason and Fuchs. I think what was said about them was uncalled for. I feel that these men are doing their jobs. I don’t blame Fuchs for putting Mr. Seltzer back in jail — he said he needed to leave Craig for work purposes, not to attend a concert or go fishing — he should have felt privileged — some people can’t even get the freedom he got. I think these men do a great job to keep our children, streets and town safe. I speak from experience, as I too was in the system so to speak, and on probation for some time. I had to pay fines and do community service, and at the time, I too felt like I got a raw deal. It took all of this to realize how bad I messed up, and that I chose the wrong people to be around. I paid for what I did and accepted it, because only you can make your own choices. I learned from my mistake with the help of counseling and my probation officer, who was Mason, and I’m grateful for everything he did for me. I was finally able to understand that what I did was wrong — and to accept that.
