Dear ER:
Your article about the AVP (“Down to business,” August 19, 2010) leaves several inaccurate impressions which need to be addressed. First of all there is no interview or comment from Leonard Armato. He is clearly one of the central themes in the More

Uncle Irv still kicking
Dear ER:
I laughed out loud reading Pete Whalon’s 1st Place story about getting the most swats at Redondo High in 1967, specifically when he talked about his drafting teacher, Irv Glushenko (“RUHS King of Swats,” ER April 12, 2010). More

“Confidential” thank you
Dear ER:
Thank you very much for reporter Robb Fulcher’s excellent article on drugs and alcohol at Mira Costa High School (“High School Confidential,” July 29, 2010). I recommended it to all my friends and parents because he laid out the More

The article about the gun carrying event in Hermosa Beach has caused me such fear, disgust, and anger, I’m not sure I can begin to put my feelings into words…

Candidate Ward says thanks

Dear ER:

I would like to say thank you to South Bay residents for your generosity and hospitality over this last year and two months since I began my campaign for State Assembly 53rd District.
