Source of Motivation

As the president of the Crenshaw Apartment Improvement Program, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ruth Ryon for the very fine article (Dec. 1) on the apartment community infamously known as “The Jungle.”

This article has had a provocative impact on the community, and has served as a source of motivation to many who now want to get involved.

Again, Ruth, thank you for your very fair and well-balanced reporting, and hopefully your efforts in cleaning up “The Jungle” will serve to make you proud as well.
