To the Editor:

In reply to the letter by Ken McKelvey, age 21, “Work for Wind” (3/31), it warms my heart to see letters from the younger members of our community taking a stand on the problems affecting our coastal community. Sea level rise is a reality.

I lived at a waterfront house in West Creek where the bulkhead was built in 1949 by the elderly neighbor. The bulkhead would be nearly under water at high tide. The neighbor told me the bulkhead, when built, was at least 2 feet above the high tide level.
