How to contact Sally Baron's family - Please Do!
Edited on Fri Aug-22-03 03:10 PM by heidiho
Here is a reply I received this afternoon from Lee Sensenbrenner, the Madison reporter who wrote about Sally Baron. Some of you have been asking how to contact her family. Here is his response:

Hi,

Others have been asking me, too, about a specific fund set up by the family. As far as I know, there isn't one. I don't think, by any means, that the family expected to encounter this kind of reaction. But perhaps they are setting up a fund now. I think it would be best if you contacted the family directly. Last night I read Sally's daughter, Maureen Bettilyon, many of the e-mail that has come in. She'd love to hear from you. She gave me two e-mail addresses: Hope that helps. Thanks for the note.
(on edit: please PM me for the e-mail addresses)
Lee

Let's all send an e-mail to this family and let them know how much we
loved their story.

2. Unfortunately
the Freepers now have a way of contacting her family as well. Hopefully, our support will overwhelm the hatred that will soon be directed their way.

3. The other board is saying they might contact negatively.
There is a link here to the thread at Free Republic. If you can let that reporter know that some of them might do that.
That is so sad. Discussion is in GD just a way down.

8. Done and thank you - I wasn't thinking

9. Um, I don't mean to sound ignorant, but
with the exception of last night I've been unable to get to DU for a few days due to illness, so who is Sally Baron?

11. Obituary of a feisty lady who called * a whistle-ass


"My uncle asked if there was a cause," her youngest son, Pete Baron, said.

Almost in unison, what her children decided to include in the obituary was this: "Memorials in her honor can be made to any organization working for the removal of President Bush."

"She thought he was a liar," Baron's daughter, Maureen Bettilyon, said. "I think his personality, just standing there with that smirk on his face, and acting like he's this holy Christian, that's what really got her."

"She'd always watch CNN, C-SPAN, and you know, she'd just swear at the TV and say 'Oh, Bush, he's such a whistle ass!' She'd just get so mad," Bettilyon said.
