Letters to the Editor

We all owe Al Stokes

Thank you, Al Stokes. Every time I go out in my boat in the waters of the Lowcountry I feel that I have been given a present by Al. His body of work has paid great dividends to those of us who love our waters and his efforts will be long remembered.

I give you a tip of my hat.
