To the Editor:

As a full-time resident and volunteer who works in the Edith Duff Gwynn Gardens behind the Barnegat Light Museum, I was shocked and saddened by the flippant comments from our mayor, Kirk Larson, concerning Cricket Luker’s suggestion to render and display artwork featuring some of the historic and, in some cases, soon-to-be-gone places throughout our community (“Gallery Owner Proposes Public Art to Champion Historic Preservation,” 4/16).

Should we remove the fisherman statue in front of Viking Village because he has been there too long?
