It's quite disappointing to me that those in NYC who were helping me locate my brother's remains, and who were supportive of me and my ideas for Hart Island, seem to have fallen by the wayside. Perhaps they've no clue what to do, although with their own political connections I find it hard to believe, they're busy with other more important city-type stuff, or they're hoping I will just go away, I don't know. One of those persons helping me, and with whom I have communicated a great deal is City Council Minority Leader James Oddo (R-Mid-Island/Brooklyn) from Staten Island. Jim was the person to whom I wrote when I initially was trying to locate John's remains. He was an angel, truly, and very concerned and interested in helping. And while I am reluctant to say anything negative, I am greatly disappointed in the lack of communication of late. I had written to him approximately a month ago, merely asking for names of persons - city officials, etc.- to whom I could write concerning Hart Island - no response yet. Maybe he really thinks I'm crazy, who knows, but I will continue writing to him until I get some type of response. Then again, I'm not the most patient person in the world, especially when I have a vision in front of me.
Question: why is the Department of Corrections allowed to get away with giving me and city officials inaccurate and false information regarding locating John's remains? How many other families have they done this to? Why are they going unpunished for causing more harm and pain? Did they really investigate my particular situation as to how such inaccurate info could be given? Did anyone take responsibility? If I could get just one person with a modicum amount of power in NYC to help me............... I can only hope. Alas, I'm just one little ant among trillions.
