Dear Editor:

Re: Coun. Craig Cameron’s Sept. 11 letter to the editor

As a member of the West Vancouver Museum Advisory Committee and a strong supporter of the proposed Centre for Art, Architecture & Design, I have been dismayed and angered by the falsehoods perpetrated by (Trevor) Lautens in his two recent articles about the project.

I admire Mr. Cameron’s courage in calling Mr. Lautens on his many misleading comments and thank him again for saying so eloquently what many of us working in support of this project have been wanting to put into words for a while.

It’s hard to know how to express disagreement – let alone dissatisfaction –with the kind of fearmongering Mr. Lautens perpetrates, since the slightest objection seems only to incite him to further flights of fancy when it comes to the facts.

Craig Cameron’s letter managed to hit the right tone, giving me hope that the majority of readers will see Lautens’ facile comments for what they are: wilful distortions of the truth, mixed with evident disdain for the efforts of many dedicated people working hard to make our community a better place.
