Dear Editor: Kathleen Gallagher’s column (“Abortion Expansion Act Passes in New York,” Jan. 26) plainly states the Reproductive Health Act (RHA) was the brainchild of former Gov. Eliot Spitzer. Wow, I almost forgot about that old “champion of women.” His name and the legislation should have been publicly and inextricably linked. Not sure it would have changed the vote on the RHA, but it should have.

40 Days For Life
Dear Editor: I celebrate the Brooklyn Diocese for joining the 40 Days For Life, an internationally coordinated pro-life mobilization. Each day you can find prayers, devotions, an email subscription and podcasts for all Christians who are pro-life.
Lt. Petrosino, A True Hero
Dear Editor: Thank you for printing such an interesting and informative article on a true hero Lt. Giuseppe Petrosino (“NYPD Remembers Hero Killed In The Line Of Duty In Pope’s Backyard,” March 16).
Thank You, Bishop DiMarzio
Dear Editor: On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to send our heartfelt gratitude to the Most Reverend, Nicholas DiMarzio, for specifically naming The Bridge to Life as one on the organizations to direct almsgiving during the 2019 Lenten Season in his March 9 column in The Tablet (“Lent Can Help Promote the Value of Life,” March 9).
A Role Model
Dear Editor: May he rest in peace (“Sports Round-Up – Anton Turkovic,” Feb. 2). He was always helpful and took great care of the students who played their sports! I recall his office with all his wonderful pictures that were so important to him of his memories.
‘Shema, Yisroel’
Dear Editor: After just having viewed the movie “The Invisibles,” at my local Kew Gardens Cinema, I was inspired to write this brief memorial for my late beloved companion, Gloria Beutel Katz (1948-2018), of Briarwood.
40 Days For Life
Thank you, Bishop DiMarzio (“In Response To New Abortion Law, Diocese Joins 40 Days For Life,” March 23). At St. Francis Xavier Parish in the Bronx, we are praying for the unborn in danger of abortion.
Keep Up the Good Work!
Dear Editor: I don’t know Peter Damour in person, but I’m so proud of him and the works God is accomplishing in him and through him (“Catholic Youth Minister Leads Teens Closer To Christ,” Feb. 23). May our Mom Mary bless him and always keep him clean and pure in heart and in mind.
Remembering Bishop Valero
Dear Editor: Bishop Valero ordained my dad in 1985. One day a few years later we were together at a Confirmation diner at St. Margaret’s.
Help to Write Our History
Dear Editor: I am the author of three books on the history of Catholic New York, and I am currently in the process of writing a new book on Catholic life in Brooklyn from the 1840’s through the 1960’s. I would like to reach out to Tablet readers with a Brooklyn background, in order to hear their stories so I can faithfully reconstruct our shared Catholic past.
