Editor’s Note: The following letters were submitted by seventh-traders in Lori Scarpa’s seventh-grade class at Indian Trails Middle School, after they read the Sept. 22 edition.
Fishing column a real catch
Dear Editor:
I have just recently finished reading your article on the Intracoastal being packed with bait. I really liked this article, not just because I love to fish but because it really “hooked” my attention.

Gleissner story shows the power of caring for others
Dear Editor:
One thing I enjoyed about Andrew O’Brien’s column, “Carrying on a legacy,” was the part where you talked about how Fred Gleissner’s dad is giving away the scholarships, and I thought that was really quite “carrying on a Legacy.” It was a part of your article that really actually moved me.
Another thing I enjoyed about your article was that you actually went and talk to his childhood friend about some of the good times they had together. The section in your article about the kids playing paintball was really amazing. It’s good that people like you care. That makes me think that 1) you’re a really good person who cares for others, and 2) that I should actually start caring more about others.
I wish you would have talked more to his friends and family members. It would have been interesting to read more about how much of a great person he really was before the tragedy. From what I read it does sound like he is a role model. I just wish there was more about him.

Is Sunset Inlet project worth it?
Dear Editor:
I read the article about the Beverly Beach development, Sunset Inlet. I liked how Megan Hoye wrote what builders and the mayor think of the (proposed) houses. If you didn’t have the builders’ and mayor’s input, people may think “Is it a waste of time?” and “Is the money worth it?”
I do wish Megan Hoye put in what citizens think about the 31 houses being built. Do they like the idea? Is it a waste of time? Are there already too many people living there?

Yeah, but how do you catch redfish?
Dear Editor:
I was just recently reading the article “Intracoastal Waterway ‘loaded’ with bait,” and I was really interested in the way you explained what kind of fish were in the bait schools, like menhaden, mullet and glass minnows, and which kind of fish were feeding on the bait like jacks, ladyfish, redfish, trout and flounder.
Another thing I also found interesting was how you gave different accounts about what people were catching and where they were catching the fish like Steve Carl and his dad, Phil, catching 17 flounder along the banks of the Intracoastal keeping seven of their largest fish, with the biggest topping five pounds. I wish that you would of included tips about how different fish like redfish because I have been trying to catch them.

I felt like Mr. Murray was next to me …
Dear Editor:
I read the article, “Belle Terre Elementary remembers Mr. Murray.” I thank you for writing about this very special man. He was my math and science teacher and many of his students are mourning his loss. I felt like he was next to me when I read this.
Reading that the old hallway that I walked down when I was in his class is now called “Murray Way” is really cool. I really loved how there’s a picture of Mr. Murray’s wife. I want to go back and be in his class even just for a few more days. I only wish there were more details about him and picture of the best math/science teacher I have ever known.
