To the Editor:

In last week’s edition, your writer inaccurately referred to the lights on the old Causeway Bridge as the “string of pearls.” The “string of pearls” was not the lights on the Causeway Bridge; the string of pearls, an image much older than the Causeway Bridge, refers to the string of lights on Long Beach Island stretching out in the darkness like a string of white pearls on black velvet.
