Are the Umbrellas Worth $26 Million?

Re: Genny Tubridy’s letter Oct. 12.

The $26 million spent on Christo’s umbrellas could have fed a lot of hungry people.

Sure, it did.

For seven years, he paid people who were working for him. Where does Ms. Tubridy think Christo’s money went? Disappeared into thin air?

Isn’t that what it’s all about, creating jobs so people can earn money to live on?
