Thank you to Mary McNamara for her column about bullying in Hollywood [“Hey Hollywood, Stop the Bully Act,” April 13]. Bullies also exist in families, schools, neighborhoods, the military, the police and other workplaces.
As a victim of bullies as a youngster and teenager, I have felt their power. Walking from school one day, an absolute stranger walking across the street called me a name. For reasons I cannot explain, I intuitively found it humorous that this stranger felt that I was a threat to his sense of self. And suddenly my stomach pain disappeared and I stood tall, realizing that this bully, and all bullies, are cowards, and the perceived weak trigger their own insecurities.

Restaurateurs and brothers, Joe and Ben Kaplan last November bought JPs Restaurant and Pub, a longstanding fixture on Westboro’s dining scene. It’s their fourth restaurant, but who’s counting.
The siblings own and operate Lakeside Bar & Grille in Shrewsbury (six years), Herbie’s in Worcester (four years) and Center Tree Bar & Grill in Rutland (two years).

They just decided to retire.”
