Our Neighbour Heath


His letter to the New York Post:

Michelle, Matilda and I were a little upset about the level of irresponsibility shown by The Post although not surprised ("Frenzied Buyer," Page Six, Nov 10)

The statement that we had been rude to our neighbours could not be further from the truth.

We adore our new neighbours and community and have shown nothing but love and interest for them, as they have for us. We have felt at home and completely accepted into the friendly arms of Brooklyn.

If there was a neighbour who felt excluded from this and then decided not to comment on it, along with posting our address, we apologize.

We have only been in the house a few weeks. I'm sure it takes a little longer than that to meet everyone on the block -- which, in time, we intend to do.

Page Six's revealing our whereabouts could possibly put our child in danger.

Aside from the fact that the day after the article we had half a dozen photographers waiting at our door. The Post has also invited anyone else who wants to be in contact with our new family to now easily do so.

I'm not sure how The Post justifies such behaviour. In future articles concerning people in the "spotlight" please take their general safety into consideration and refrain from printing their home address.

I would have thought this to be an unwritten rule -- a bit of common sense wouldn't go astray.

We would like to thank our new friends in Brooklyn for shaking their heads at this behaviour and continuing to extend their friendship.
