To the editor:

I am supporting Stewart Weisman in his candidacy for the Fayetteville-Manlius School Board. I have known Mr. Weisman for more than 28 years as a fellow attorney and former employer, and most importantly as a mentor. He is an extremely caring and compassionate individual who always finds the time to lend an ear to anyone in need of guidance or counsel on personal or professional matters. Mr. Weisman is also a very bright, energetic and deeply dedicated individual who takes the time to study and fully understand the issues confronting him. I firmly believe that his interest of the students, parents, faculty and constituents of the district is genuine and sincere.

Mr. Weisman’s breadth of professional experience as an attorney, professor and mediator, as well as a board member of several community organizations makes him distinctively qualified to serve as a school board member. As an alumnus and parent of three children who recently graduated from the Fayetteville-Manlius School District, I urge you to join me in supporting Mr. Weisman by voting for him on May 16.
