Editor, Gazette-Journal:

With all the controversy in Mathews County concerning possible new rules for floodplain coverage, one should not overlook one of the advantages of living in Mathews County as it is now.

If an individual, after his passing, wishes to have his ashes dispersed on East River as I do, there are several opportunities every year for that act to be done from your porch steps at a great saving of expense.
