EACH STATE SHOULD HELP PROTECT OTHERS

RESPECT is no longer known among our United States. This is shown in how the states treat one another.

Recently, Dr. William Gray has been accused of sexually abusing his patients. He also came under suspicion in San Diego, Calif., in 1978. That state was afraid of "putting him out of work" so let him go. One of his attorneys said, "It's not very easy to give up your professional life." Of course it is not easy, but Dr. Gray should have thought of that before he started with this mess. Now he appears in Virginia, and is accused of doing the same thing.

Gray's medical license needs to be revoked at least long enough to make sure that he is really sorry, not just sorry that he was caught. If Virginia just slaps him on the wrists and says he can no longer practice here, where will he appear next? He can go to our neighbors in Tennessee or North Carolina. Neighbors are supposed to protect each other. REV. STANLEY ARMES PULASKI
