To the editor:
If there ever was any doubt about the love for West Stockbridge and the generosity of the Nguyen family, it was dispelled last night at the public hearing for The Foundry’s special permit application. Truc Nguyen, who runs The Truc Orient Express which has been the victim of very poor management by the town through its selectboard and excessive noise at musical performances by The Foundry, stood up and in an impassioned statement said that she wanted The Foundry to be granted the special permit.
She emphasized how the dispute between the two businesses had divided the town which her parents came to some four plus decades ago from war torn Vietnam. Her Mom and Dad loved the town and its people and worked very hard to build a fine restaurant and home. All that she asked for in return was sensitivity toward the family’s and business’ need for control of excessively loud music played at The Foundry. Not much to ask and a great deal to give. One wonders what the selectboard would have done had she not made it easy for them.
