HONORABLE MENTION

I loved your “On Your Honor” story [Summerguide 2022]! One year I had an honor-system self-serve cucumber table at the head of my driveway. Bertha Parquette, my ancient-widow neighbor, called me up and said that someone told her about the stand. She asked if I could drop o some cucumbers and onions so she could make pickles. Needless to say, I didn’t charge her a penny. Amanda Russell, Edgecomb

YOU DECIDE

I am reaching out to touch base about the “Private Lives” article in [Summerguide 2022]. I was aware of the article beforehand, of course, since Victoria Mansion was contacted for photos. ough Charisse [Gendron]’s article was fascinating, I was a little saddened, to be honest, with the altered Morse portrait, which is a c. 1855 daguerreotype in Victoria Mansion’s collections. I’ve written a brief response, which I hope you will consider publishing in the “Letters” section of the next issue. anks in advance for your consideration.
