I am writing in response to an article in your newspaper on June 19 regarding the Bolduc family’s personal finances and the tragic accident that occurred at their business last fall (“Bank sues owners of Harvest Hill Farms“).

It saddens me that personal financial information about their private home is being published and the author is alluding to the tragic accident as being related to his story.

I ask: How do their personal finances relate to the tragic accident?

These are two very different stories, one of which should not be published unless your intentions are to publish everyone’s personal financial misfortunes.

Do you know how many Maine families have experienced foreclosure in recent years? Yet they are not published in the newspaper with details.

Let us not forget this is a family with two parents and four wonderful children. Do we really need to publicly humiliate them?

The article starts “The embattled owner of Harvest Hill Farm. …” There is nothing farther from the truth.

Embattled means one is surrounded by enemies, and that is false. The Bolduc family has a tremendous amount of support in the community. You will not find a more generous and giving family and they do not deserve to be treated like this.

I feel there is already enough grief in their lives without publishing their personal finances about their private home. I think it would benefit your readers to get the Bolducs’ perspective.
