Dear Editor:
I agree with Donald Dunbar, ‘Rethinking Judge Begbie, Letter, Record, Jan. 4.
I understand according to history, the five men hung were “murderers,” not killing to defend themselves. I am sure if he could, Judge Begbie would be spinning in his grave over all the controversy regarding his name and legacy. I am truly puzzled why our generation, and generations to come, have to make reconciliation with the current generation for something that happened to their ancestors.
This generation did not cause or receive any hardships of the past. I believe it is time to live in the present.
