    To The Editor: To demonstrate the far-reaching enthusiasm generated by the concept of a new Senior Site incorporated in John Jay Park, Sister Catherine's a former New Yorker's now writes to us from California: â??I love the idea of a park for the elderly. To have older people feel that they have a safe place to go's and one that offers some projects that seniors will enjoy's delights my heart. Hooray for Councilmember Jessica Lappin, who is seeking financing for the park. It suggests that she will be â??watching it" to see that all is well. This humanizes a city in which officials care about people they are elected to serve. And kudos to Betty Cooper Wallerstein, the East 79th Street Neighborhood Association and Community Board 8 for giving life to this project! Good luck to all. Catherine McMahon, RSCJ We couldn"t agree more, Sister Catherine! Marge Bluemle, Loretta Ponticello and Molly Blayney Upper East Side
