Thank You for Covering The Stith Brothers
Dear Editor: Many thanks for printing the wonderful article about the Stith brothers (“Trailblazing Brothers Broke Barriers at St. Francis Prep”) in the Feb. 28 edition of The Tablet.
I hope many of your readers enjoyed it. My cousin, Dick Young, became a famous sports writer for the New York Post. Many thanks!

A Fitting Tribute to a Diocesan Treasure
Dear Editor: What a great article (“Coen-gratulations: Celebrating the Diocese of Brooklyn Archivist’s Remarkable Career, Retirement,” Aug. 10) about a great man.
He will be much missed. His knowledge of the Diocese of Brooklyn history is vast.
Who will now find those valuable family records for us?
I hope he has a great retirement.

Thank You for Caring About My Helping Others
Dear Editor: I would like to sincerely thank Currents News’ Katie Vasquez and The Tablet’s Bill Miller for their meaningful and touching story (“Restaurateur Offers Food, Shelter to People Seeking Help — Just As He Did,” March 28).
I never forgot that cold night years ago — the feeling of being lost, alone, and helpless.
Perhaps that is exactly why we continue to give today. Life has taught me many things, but most importantly, how difficult moments shape who we become.
There was a time when I was cold, when I was lost, when I had no one.
Today, I do my best so no one else has to feel that way.
Wherever there is someone in need, wherever there is a person without shelter — we will be there. Our doors — and our hearts — are always open.
Because we believe that warming someone is not only about the body, but also about the heart.
Sharing food is truly sharing hope.
This is a path of kindness.
Religion, language, or background does not matter — we are all human.
And we will continue on this path for the sake of God, without stopping.
May God bless everyone with the ability to help others.
