I was happy to see some letters standing up for Tim Louis [Letters, November 3-10]. In fact, more power to him that he's willing to persist. His faith in the process and his commitment to deeply sound, humane core values should be an inspiration to us all. Instead of picking at minor foibles, we should be grateful for his willingness to keep carrying the torch. Set in his ways and a little cranky? Ha. Aren't you? I sure am. Thank you, Tim Louis!
