Editor: A sad goodbye to Harry Paul, who briefly touched my life one day this past year. He is gone now, under sombre circumstances. I passed him struggling down School Road one day with his worldly goods over his shoulder.

Editor: On the day of the night that Harry Paul died, he came to the Salvation Army Friday lunch in Gibsons. As one of the volunteers behind the counter, I helped to fill his plate. I have thought a lot about that since hearing of his death.

Editor: I just found out Gibsons’ weather figures actually come from Point Atkinson in Lighthouse Park in West Vancouver.

(Letter to BC Ferries President and CEO Mike Corrigan.) Dear Mr. Corrigan: We are a classroom of middle year high school students on the Sunshine Coast who are concerned about 12 to 17 year olds being charged as adults on BC Ferries.

Editor: What a disappointment to read not one but two letters encouraging curtailment of bringing Syrian refugees to Canada.

Editor: I want to commend Cathie Roy for her sensitive and insightful opinion piece in last week’s Coast Reporter on our new government’s decision to take in 25,000 refugees from war-torn Syria (“Painting the truth about us”).

Editor: Thank you, Cathie Roy, for your very enlightening words regarding “Painting the truth about us” (Nov. 27). Far too many people are inclined to tar everyone of a group with the same brush.
