LETTERS

Regarding Hugo Martin’s article [“Come Fly With Me,” March 29]: I was born in Port Arthur, Texas, and grew up in Houston and made Galveston my home. I’m living in California with my husband who lives here, or I would still be in Texas. Martin said High Island is neither high nor an island, but I say it is both. You don’t understand this, because you live in California, where an island is like Catalina and sea level happens at the shore. But if you look on the Internet, you will see a picture of High Island taken after Hurricane Ike, and it is clearly an island surrounded by water.

It was nice to read about home. My mom tells me the papers have been agog about the surge in birds this year, so his article was on target.
