Who is Marty O’Boyle? A jerk? A bully? A white knight? He’s right, or he’s the village idiot? He’s an egomaniac having a tantrum, or he’s a genius, as the city paid him nearly $200,000?
    Who knows?
    Who is Sheila O’Boyle? A wonderful woman. A kind and generous person. A wonderful mother, friend and neighbor. A person who has contributed thousands of hours and dollars to local charities and causes. A model citizen.
    Oh, Marty O’Boyle’s wife!
    How should we treat this kind, generous and giving woman? Should she be branded with a scarlet “O” and ostracized from society because of her husband’s actions? Should people go out of their way to be rude and say unkind things to her?
    Should her neighbors pride themselves on rudeness to her and threaten the many charities she has worked for and supported over the years? Should those worthwhile charities and causes be financially punished for not ostracizing this wonderful, kind and generous woman?
    Let’s graduate from junior high school. Let’s grow up and treat this wonderful lady with the kindness and respect she has earned in our community. Give her a hug.
