Threatening letters sent Barr over stolen confidential file
School Committee Chairman Thomas Barr told the committee last night that threatening letters were mailed after someone stole a confidential evaluation from his wife Barbara Barr in 1969. The letters, sent to the Barr home with press threats, accompanied Barbara Barr’s evaluations. Barr said the letters, part of a pattern affecting others, were intended to pressure officials who challenge the system. He and his wife plan to press the matter publicly.
