Joe Mendelsohn, Charleston: “On last week’s “Views from the water” photo essay: I remember climbing up that ladder with my friend, Crayton Walters, leading the way. The pilot boat pulled away and there was nothing, but ocean under me.”
Frank Scalise, Powdersville, S.C.: I believe the State of South Carolina has to consider a bottle bill and an increased tax on fast food. All proceeds of unreturned bottles and fast food tax should go to road clean-up with county and local roads as the main focus of clean-up. Just as not everyone has children in school but still is taxed to provide an educated society for our future, not everyone litters but we need to do something to provide a clean planet for our future.
Joe Mendelsohn: “With Conroy, it wasn’t the score that counted, but how the ball got there.”
