A FAMILY MAN FOR THE COURT

IN REFERENCE to the endorsement of John B. Ferguson for the Juvenile Court bench (April 28 story by Laurence Hammack, "Lawyer backed for judgeship"):

He would be an excellent choice. He is a family man and very much involved with children. He would be a breath of fresh air for our system, just as Judge Clifford Weckstein has proved to be.

These, as do all our judges, do a fine job for which this city should be proud. I'm sure retired Judge Beverly Fitzpatrick is proud to have left behind such fine judges to carry on the excellent service he has given us for so many years.
