Mr. Corcoran,
I am the Stephen Stuntz referenced in the letter by my grandfather George.
I can assure you that I have never suffered any lasting damage from our
brief encounter regardless of my grandfather's impressions.He was a
superior court judge and quite the stickler for details. I hope that you
can accept my apology for your public rebuke even though it is 50 years
late. I am sure that you were as professional on that day as on each
successive day whether in white or gray coveralls.
I was quite charmed by the article that you found and while I do not
remember that particular day (I was only 2!) it did remind me of the fond
memories of my grandfather. My family has had a good laugh as well. I am
curious as to how you found the article and how you found me but no matter
how you did I really appreciate it.
Thank you very much.
Stephen Stuntz
