Article omitted facts
As president of the Missouri Kansas chapter of Grandmothers Against Gun Violence, I am disappointed that Grandmothers Against Gun Violence was not mentioned in the article published in the Aug. 29 issue of The Chronicle about the new Kansas chapter of the Brady Campaign. Susan Blaney is not only co-founder of the Brady Campaign Kansas chapter, she is also co-founder with me, as well as vice president, of our local Grandmothers Against Gun Violence chapter.
Susan has been in constant contact with the Brady Campaign staff for a long time, and was instrumental in getting the chapter set up in Kansas. In fact, Blayney is the one who recruited Harold Koch, Paul Temme and Loren Stanton to join her as charter members — and without her efforts, the chapter would not be here. These three men are also members of Grandmothers Against Gun Violence, and the statistics cited in the article all came from the our chapter’s March 2014 meeting.
