Gundella is nice lady

The Community Crier, November 6, 1985 (enlarge)

This op-ed letter from Patricia Haggerty, the mother of Veronica Kuclo's best friend, writes in to chastise the community for calling Gundella a bad influence on children in response to her much aligned presentation at Plymouth-Salem High School in 1985. Protests erupted but the talk went on.

Mrs. Haggerty describes Gundella as a "wonderful, sensitive and intelligent person" with beautiful children of her own. She goes on to say, "There is no cult, there never has been." and finishes with the castigation, "I'm ashamed of you people in my hometown that would allow such a thing as this to happen. It is malicious and vicious. Get your facts straight."
