Kristin St. John's Letter of Support

District Attorney Sam Sutter
888 Purchase Street
New Bedford , MA 02740

By FAX: 508-994-3069

Dear Mr. Sutter,

Since I’m living and working in the Washington, D.C. area, I am faxing this letter in support of Temistocles Ferreira.

I have known Tem for over 15 years – with a friendship that started as we were freshmen at University of Massachusetts. The Tem I know and love so much is a person who is gentle, caring and peaceful. Unlike most college students after graduation, Tem didn’t leave looking for a big paycheck. Instead, he continued to work within the New Bedford community and build a positive world for kids involved with the Upward Bound Program, and with his current role as Director of the Busted Fro Music & Drama Program. His concern and love for children, and the atmosphere they are in, is very apparent – and needed in today’s world.

When I heard about Tem’s arrest last week I was completely taken aback and wanted to make sure you are able to see a different side of him; a side that those of us fortunate enough are able to experience while in his presence.

I ask that you take into consideration his upstanding role in the New Bedford community as you make your decision regarding this case.

Thank you,

Kristin St. John
Alexandria, VA
