My wife, Ursula, and I have grown fond and respectful of our “former” librarian, Teresa Brouwer, who was recently dismissed as Idyllwild’s librarian.
We read the article of her dismisssal in your newspaper [June 28 issue] and were both shocked and distressed. Not only is her dismissal without cause after so many years of faithful and professional service heartless and unjust, it is also an affrontery to the community.
Idyllwild is not an impersonal and distant society such as prevails in urban centers. We are a close knit community and Teresa is a neighbor, friend and an indelible fabric in the texture of our local culture.
We must protest and cause this injustice and insult to us to be remedied.
