To the Editor:

Kudos to Ginnie Gottshall and her letter about the ailing Surflight “Summer” Theatre (“Surflight Solution,” 2/18).

A part-time and full-time resident of LBI most of my life, I was introduced to Surflight as a very small child in the 1950s and joined the other children sitting on the floor around the apron of the tiny thrush stage. I still recall the thrill of seeing Joe Hayes and the young people who danced and sang and entertained residents and visitors alike all summer.
