We,Miracle Temple of Christ, are a church located in the heart
of South Philadelphia, and murders are happening all around us,
but we think that we can help keep some child safe. We have a
Christian Cafe' called Cafe' Safer Place, which gives the youth
a place to hear positive music, congregate without violence.

This is an successful venue that is going on around the city,
that hundreds of kids gather together and have a good time and
never has there been anything violent occurring. We hear about
so many bad things happening in our communities, but there is
some good.

On Saturday at PM we will have a play that Sharon Baptist
Church will be performing it in the mist of what we call
rampage of death, but this is a light, there are some good kids
that want better. We like to invite you out to help us make a
statement to the community of south Philly. Also on December
29th at PM is our Cafe' Safer Place, which we will have 1 night
a month.

I have never written to a newspaper before, but his morning I
read your article about Florence Cohen and her daughter and go
sick. I am appalled at both her and Sherri. I lived next door
to the address they all used as residency status for over 20
years (because none of them lived in the home except during
election time a few months before and after. After the
neighborhood favors were completed and the flyers handed out
you did not see them.) I just noticed Sherri coming around
just before her father died. Mark I saw during 1986 and 87 not
since, however, his office does send me a newsletter from him
every year on my birthday. The lawyer brother only was around
during the time he was trying to get elected judge. People
would walk right pass him handing out hand shakes and flyers as
they entered the Cohen residence because no knew him. He would
tell them, "I am Mr.. Cohen's son and I am running for judge.

Florence was the neighbor from hell. She used her husband's
office as if it was hers She reported me to license and
inspections several times because of a bench I had on my lawn
and she said it was an eyesore. She had parking authority take
my car away twice because the inspection sticker had run out.
So when Sherri, her lover and all of their homosexual friends
starting tearing up the house after Mr.. Cohen died, I new then
that she was only living there so she could run for her dad's
office. They were leaving debris all over and when I
complained they told me "do you know who lives here"? I
addressed it accordingly and told them that if they did not
move that trash from my property I would call the police and I
did.

The next day some of Sherri's friends asked if I wanted to come
in an see the renovations they made to the house, cleaned my
side of the patio and cut the grass. That is when they told me
that Sherri was going to be living in the house and that
Florence was in a senior care facility at 19th and Callowhill.
How dare she think she can run for the seat and I plan to start
a campaign in my neighborhood to keep her and Sherri from being
elected. The Cohen's are not interested in serving the
people, they just want political jobs so they can graze and get
perks.

When Mr.. Cohen was alive, even when he was not riding in the
City provided chauffer driven car, the chauffer would come and
pick Florence up and take her to work on my tax money. They
were going to center city, they could have given me a ride, I
work in town too. He would cut the grass, he would meet a city
truck to pick up their trash if he missed coming to put it out
in their absence, when they were where ever they truly lived,
he would come over every night to put on the lights to give the
appearance that some one was there and pick up the newspapers.

She is going to have a tough time if I have anything to do with
it. The old guard is gone in the neighborhood. The new blood
is not looking for favors for their votes.

I am going to give Sherri's girlfriend a copy of this email to
give to Sherri.

Thanks for listening.

Parts of the road inside Roosevelt Park has been dug into and
filled in with stones. I was wondering if you could get them to
repave over the stones. My speed skating team was practicing
there but can no longer.

Thanks very much.
