To the Editor:

Heartfelt congratulations are due to Mary Ann Gutchigian and Lisa Willoughby, co-chairs of LBI FLY International Kite Festival, and their small but dedicated group of volunteers who brought to Long Beach Island the most spectacular event filled with smiles and good cheer for every person who was touched by it this past weekend.

The people who came to fly the kites (kiters) were impressed by the beauty of our Island and the hospitality and friendliness of our vendors, residents and volunteers.
