To The Editor:
Let me get this straight.
Last year the Dalio Family Foundation and Ray Dalio donated approximately $5 million to 400 different charities.
Yet the executive director of the local First Night group feels justified to engage in libel and besmirch the man’s good name because he did not specifically give to her charity?
Unbelievable.

I share Dr. Shushtari’s outrage at the unwarranted and uninformed remarks made about Ray Dalio by Ms. Gates. Inexcusable in any case, but especially because of his family’s consistent generosity (and modesty, by the way). I will NOT give to First Night because of this, and frankly suspect that others may share my feelings. And if I were on the Board of the First Night organization, I would terminate Ms. Gates immediately.
