Anonymous reader protests anonymous source

I got this letter from a reader upset that we protected the name of the recovering heroin addict who helped with the story “Heroin Crisis Hits Home.”

The reader wrote (in case you can’t read the handwriting):

“Incredibly trashy paper
Trashy article on drug addict-Don’t feel sorry for anyone anonymous.
Trashy, Trashy,
garbage”


Note: The letter was unsigned. No return address on the envelope.
