To the editor:
We are writing concerning last week’s letter (10/27) to the editor from John Phillips, and wanted to correct several points he made regarding seniors and the hiring of the first senior coordinator.
We were both involved in this process, through our work with the Senior Advisory Board and in Hopewell Township and Pennington Borough, and respectfully would suggest that Mr. Phillips has significantly over-stated Volpe’s role in the hiring of the first senior coordinator.
While Phil may have made an initial introduction to the good folks at Princeton Healthcare, it was the many hundreds of hours of hard work and perseverance of others over two years that eventually led to the ultimate funding, position creation and hiring of the first senior coordinator in 2006, especially Bill Farmer, Severino DiCocco, Larry Mansier and the many others who have served on the Senior Advisory Committee since it was formed in 2005.
