To the Editor:

Last week, one Rich Ayala of South Carolina wrote here about how after tracing all of his relatives – with fond memories – who resided on LBI going back a few generations, he is now saddened by how things have changed on our lovely Island because, while coming onto the Island a few days earlier, people in an SUV with New York plates shouted “you f**king Democrat” multiple times during the Trump boat parade.
