Connie Hansard Perry stopped to pick up her mail Christmas Eve and saw a 77-year-old neighbor in Druid Woods condominiums, open letter in hand, sobbing.

Though Perry had a houseful of Christmas guests to attend to, she took time to try to comfort her friend.

Perry herself soon would need comforting. The letter was from the condo association board.

It said the 140owners in the Decatur complex owed the association $7,650 each. The association needed the money to repair water damage to one of five buildings, and owners had until the end of January to pay.
