Letter to Robert O. Snyder, Superintendent of New Castle Parks and Recreation

April 30, 2010
by David B. Metz

Dear Bob:

I have come to the Zimmerman – Recreation Department issue just recently, but my research discovers the following:

* Zimmerman’s deep knowledge and administrative experience with New Castle football is an asset that should not be trifled with.

* Furthermore, his emotional dedication to this cause and the numerous family coaches he brings to the program is an asset of overwhelming value.

* The personal connection of the Zimmerman system – family coaches of young football enthusiasts – cannot be equaled by bureaucratic town management or USA Football.

* The politics of this issue is unfortunate.

Let the kids play in the fine system that exists. It is not broken and does not need fixing.

Sincerely,

David B. Metz

Chairman of Recreation Commission 1969-70
