Dear Seth,

I read your New York Sun column about Chuck Hawk. I scratched my head at first, “Jeez, I used to know a kid with that name in Hull — must be a common name.” Through reading the column I realized that you are the same Seth Gitell. Thanks for the column.

Seth,

I listened to the interview on MPR on Friday July 25. Next time when you believe the world needs enlightening, please check your historical facts. JFK’s ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ speech did not take place at the time of the Berlin airlift; it was held on June 26, 1963. The Berlin Airlift took place in 1948 and was implemented by Truman to maintain the viability of the city of Berlin when the Russians closed the autobahn routes into the city from West Germany. The Berlin Wall was built in August of 1961. The law degree from Harvard should have taught you to check your facts before you open your mouth in a courtroom. I would want to know that my lawyer had done a better job of cecking his/her facts than you did. You might have slept through that lecture in history class, but that should have been all the more reason for you to diligently check your facts. I hope a history porfessor from Harvard listened to your rendition of history and sent you a complementary lecture on the topic of the Berlin Airlift and JFK’s speech.

Seth: Could you please comment on your fmr boss taking on a new role of, king of the cheeseheads? (Really, its the Badgers, but no one here in Boston seems to get that!)

I can’t see him transforming himself from a life-long Bostonian to midwesterner! The politics are equally ugly, except that everyone is smiling while stabbing their enemy in the back.

Seth:
Didn’t even know what a blog was! So now that I know you, I’ll have one to check out ’cause it’s the City that I’ve come to love. Don’t understand all the nuances of Boston, but learning about them daily! Let me know how I can help you.

Regards,
Deb
