READER RESPONSE
REMEMBERING PRINCE CHARLES
I was reminded of Prince Charles' visit to the area. I did take my children to Fort McClary to watch the arrival of the ship bringing him to Portsmouth -- a destroyer? But at the critical moment there was a salute of guns. And the ship & sailors lining the rails were obscured by smoke. Oh well! There was a rumor that he did some surfing at York's Long Sands. So, thanks for the memory, (1973 was a long time ago !!) or what I THINK is a memory
