Letter: Beauty and the Beast

Posted on Jul 29, 2010 - 03:02 PM Printer Friendly View

Editor, Gazette-Journal:

There I was standing on that old rickety wharf behind the Mathews Court House sanitation district with my two grandsons looking over the mass vegetation that has taken over the once-beautiful little creek.

What a shock to see so little sparking water which I remembered very well as a child. I couldn’t even see the backyard of my Uncle Clarke’s house, which used to be clearly visible.

The beauty is gone—let’s get it back before it’s too late.

Elizabeth Anderson

Mathews, Va.
