‘Progress’ Must Be Stopped
     To the Editor: We are in agreement with Mr. Potulsky's letter [Letters, October 10, 2009]. We, too, have always come to the Island once a year, sometimes twice a year. The first time I came was in 1967. We stayed at the lovely McNally Cottage. Please don't let anyone tear it down!

     To the Editor: After receiving the latest issue of the Town Crier, I am, to put it mildly, quite distressed. I spent my entire childhood, and a number of my adult years, living in Michigan.

Happy Summers Spent on Island
     To the Editor: Please find my check for the Town Crier for another year. I enjoy reading the paper and about the people of the Island. My parents owned the East Bluff home named the “Baby Grand” for about 30 years, so we spent many years of happy summers on the Island.

Islanders Have an Obligation to All
     To the Editor: As one who for years has traveled to Mackinac Island, I truly am saddened to hear McNally Cottage could be on a course of destruction.
