Upon learning of the death of a friend’s brother in an
Ultralight crash near Hollister, it did not take long to locate
your article related to this event. Reading your coverage, I was
dismayed at the lack of sensitivity in describing the accident
victims, though it did seem to provide a good fit with what
appeared to be a general condemnation of Ultralights in
general.

I feel sorry for family members who were subjected to the insensitive remarks of Sheriff Turturici and I was downright embarrassed by your selection as a spokesperson the obviously jaded Mr. Scattini. Is it really the appropriate time to play to the fears and prejudices of an uninformed public when two upstanding citizens met such a tragic fate participating in an activity where they, more than most, understood the risks and the rewards involved?
