People
with Lyme: Shealy failed to get facts straight before launching attack
Shealy failed to
get facts straight before launching attack
The State, SC
By Karen Iacovelli
Ross Shealy (“On barbecue, politics and what defies parody,” Aug. 1)
exemplifies the ignorance and vitriol of the fanatical left.
For the record, Mr. Shealy never contacted me and does not know a wit about me, my
business or the disease that 20 million people, including me, suffer from.
Rather than a doctor’s note, Mr. Shealy needs a lesson in reporting facts. They
are:
I have had Lyme disease for 14 years, have been hospitalized on too many occasions to
recall (even when appearing pretty in pink).
I sit on the Board of Dispoz-o Products Inc., a major manufacturer of plastic
disposable products that has done great good for humankind, exceeded only by the greater
shame Mr. Shealy brings to journalism.
I am a founding director of the Philadelphia Trust Company. We have broken more records
for funds under management than Shealy has writing any reputable news.
I have never signed a pledge to support the Alliance for Separation of School and
State.
I have a passion for kids, freedom, excellence, learning and the American way. South
Carolina would not be left behind if organizations such as the National Education
Association would get out of the way.
One of the hardest things I have ever done was resign from the Education Oversight
Committee. Maybe I should have asked Mr. Shealy to chauffeur me back and forth between
Greenville and Columbia , because I temporarily lost my hearing and eyesight and could
have used a good seeing-eye pit bull.
The S.C. Club for Growth knew I was ill and recruited me as a board member. This is one
of the savviest groups of people I have had the pleasure to join. It waited for me to get
well and work the phones.
So, what else does Mr. Shealy want to know that’s fit to print? He should call me
sometime. I’ll be happy to supply the facts, only when he stops writing bad fiction.
