To the Editor,

Please join us in sending a big THANK YOU to the Island School, and specifically Jean Thompson, head of school, for helping the Friends of Boca Grande Community Center to provide after school care on Veteran’s Day.  

(This letter was written to the Beacon and to Jeff Rodgers, our Stargazer writer who is the director of the Bishop Planetarium)

To the Editor:

I have always enjoyed your monthly stargazing articles in our island paper. Your charts are clean and easy to read. I also think it’s wonderful for a professional astronomer to share science in a manner we can all learn and enjoy.

To the Editor:

Shame on some residents of Boca Grande who voted on November 6. You, who stood in line to scan your ballot, violated an elderly woman’s right to vote in privacy by looking over her shoulder (even putting on your glasses) as she sat and completed her ballot.
