LETTERSGet sources straight

I am writing to you regarding the article, "Thoughts on Westwood Village Business" in your July 21-27 issue.

Mr. Harwin reported the following statement, "An inside source has it that Westwood Brewing Company would already be out of business if it wasn't owned by a major condiment company ..."

This statement is not true.

Westwood Brewing Company is owned by a group of independent investors, the largest of which is a retired engineer.

Thanks to tremendous support from UCLA students, the area residents and business people, we are a thriving Westwood business. We are not going "out of business;" on the contrary, we look to our future in Westwood with both excitement and optimism.

It is clear that Mr. Harwin's "inside source" is misinformed. I understand that Mr. Harwin is a student, still learning his journalistic craft, but if he is irresponsible about what he reports, he can unfairly hurt people or businesses. He should verify his facts.
