Part of the truth is that Jim Dumm came to Georgetown as a volunteer with some program like Americorps about 50 years ago, started Tara Hall from scratch on property donated by the Yawkey Foundation, built itl up from nothing into one of the premiere homes for neglected and abused children, helped thousands and thousands of those children to navigate their troubled childhoods, adolescence and teen years, feeding, guiding and educating them, served the entire community very well as a member and chairman of the School Board, and was (and is) a very good and decent person. For my part, as a former prosecutor and as an attorney, I seriously doubt that he ever stole anything from anybody (I presume his innocence, just like the US Constitution requires of me), but beyond that, really don't care if he did or not. I know him to be a good person. I say that as a person "not being from Georgetown" and someone who has never been (and never wanted to be) a "good-old-boy." Like Groucho Marx, I never join any group or gathering that would have someone like me as a member and, most certainly, not the likes of the Indigo Society. My suggestion is this: Since it is the FBI that is handling the investigation and not Sheriff Weaver (whose integrity and impartiality the previous skeptical, judgmental and cynical posters presumably have doubts, although I have absolutely none), just wait and see what happens. If the feds indict Jim and put him on trial, wait for the evidence to be produced and learn what a jury decides. Beyond that, there isn't much anyone can do about the situation one way or another, so it would be best if everyone just took a deep breath or two and then went peacefully about their own business rather than casting stones, whether first, second or thereafter.
