Ed, L.A. Parker’s article on Tiger Woods was one of his best. It was filled with compassion and hope. I know that it took someone who had been there to make us understand the depth of an addict’s suffering and pain. One thing L.A. didn’t mention, though, was that if he had not walked out of the darkness we would not have had his insightful articles in The Trentonian. I have come away with a new respect and admiration for L.A. Parker.

L.A. Story

Ed, I just read L.A. Parker’s article in Saturday’s paper. I can attest to everything he said about walking out of the darkness and into the light after recovery. It is a beautiful journey. Everything he said is true. I hope that his article can bring someone else out of the darkness.

L.A. Confidential

Few would have the courage to reveal expose themselves to the masses, as L.A. did in that column. I’m not sure I buy Tiger’s apology, but I know L.A. is sincere. —Ed. Note
