PRAISE FOR ``FAMILY DOCTOR''

I compliment staff writer Esther Diskin for her article ``Family Doctor'' (Daily Break, July 25).

It seems every time I pick up my newspaper, I read about another Susan Smith or O.J.; murder, suicide; families falling apart. How refreshing to read about a person and an agency that are dedicated to strengthening the family. Dr. James Dobson has a new book, When God Doesn't Make Sense, on the Top 10 list.

We need to read more of these type articles.
