Editor: I sincerely hope that all of you who have been complaining about the aircraft noise are able to appreciate the current aircraft noise that is saving our town. Mim Andrews Idyllwild
Me thinks the ladies and gentlemen of the IFPD doth protest too much. Perhaps there was much truth in what Dr. Schelly wrote in the May 23 “Letter to the editor,” since there was such a strong reaction from the [Idyllwild Fire Protection District] firefighters’ commission. Dr. Schelly felt strongly about what he saw and…
