To the editor:
After appearing before the Board of Supervisors to ask for handicapped access to the courthouse, I get the distinct impression that its chief interest in the matter is to figure out how not to provide access.
Let me tell the good gentlemen of the board that I am not the only physically handicapped person in Rappahannock County. Judging from discussions and telephone calls 1 have had since my letter to the Bbard was made public, there are many Rappahannock people who need, desire and support easier access to the courthouse and library.
One of this county’s most respected people, an elderly gentleman crippled with arthritis, has painfully hauled himself up one slow step at a time to attend board meetings for a long time. A neighbor with a bad back from a tractor accident, a middle-aged woman with emphysema and high blood pressure, a friend who has had a recent operation on her foot — all of these people have the civil right to use public buildings without jeopardizing their health still further.
