My thanks to Ken and the Anchor for sharing my experiences in Cuba. (See “On humanitarian mission, Great Islander observes effects of Cuban embargo,” by Kenneth Z. Chutchian, on Page 17 of the May edition.)

For anyone who would like to know more and understand Cuba better, I recommend “Cuba: An American History,” by Ada Ferrer, published in 2021 and winner of the Pulitzer Prize.

Letter writer to be commended

Kudos to Karin Soderberg for her January letter to the editor relating her experience getting "caught in a computer scam." She is to be commended for sharing this information as a "warning so no one else experiences the fright of losing their finances and personal info to a stranger without scruples."

School board elections count

I am voting for Ryan Larsen for the Harpswell school board seat for Maine School Administrative District 75. Since moving to Harpswell in 1976, I have witnessed the importance of school board elections as a mother, a teacher, a PTO member, a community activist and now as a retired educator.

Observations on the field

Recently, while walking Mitchell Field with my dog, I took an informal bird count. On the lower field, I chalked up a bobolink sighting right off the bat. These seasonal migrant birds are endangered and need the open meadows for raising their young.
