Worthy Wisdom From a Practical Idealist

Re “The Elder of East L.A.” (Oct. 25): Frank Duarte is someone to admire. He has gone a long way and does not think of himself, but of his people, to help them and open doors for them.

His life showed me you can make it, if you try, don’t give up.

Like Frank Duarte said, “Help someone else, give back.”

Frank R. Duarte may be seen as humanistic and yet humble. His words and acts carry conviction. He is a perfect example of a practical idealist.
