Thank you

To the Editors of The Crimson:

It has been said, "Your friend is your needs answered."

The truth of that statement was proven shortly before Christmas break by the rapid response given by neighbors in the community when fire forced residents of 1105 Massachusetts Avenue to the street.

For myself as then-mayor of Cambridge and on behalf of those who were forced to evacuate the building, I extend a thunderous "Thank You" to the officials and staff at Harvard's Freshman Union who provided food to the victims during the course of the emergency.

The message from every part of the community adjacent to 1105 Mass. Ave. was good. Friends were found as needs were answered. Walter J. Sullivan   City Concillor
