3/4: First Suffolk 9.12 Project (N.Y.) Event Draws 45 People
Robert and Mary Meyer were headed to Digger O’Dell’s restaurant in downtown Riverhead last March when Mr. Meyer felt a rush of anxiety. He had planned the gathering, but the self-described “large utility company” employee was no public speaker.
“Do you think people will expect me to say something?” his wife, a teacher, recalled him asking as they headed south from their Baiting Hollow home. In a lighthearted attempt to comfort her husband, Ms. Meyer assured him they would likely be dining alone that night.
Robert and Mary Meyer, I probably disagree with on every single issue. But good for you for putting yourself out there and rallying support for what you believe. I support every American who makes their views public and takes a firm stand on their beliefs. I disagree with your opinions but am 100% behind your enthusiasm and willingness to step a little outside your “comfort zone” to generate support for your beliefs.
