Editors:
In an issue full of water issues and other weighty matters, Orville Wright's article "Those were different times" was a welcome break. (Any connection with some well-known bike mechanics and airplane innovators?) It was hilarious; I split my sides. In 1950, I was 9 and growing up in Milton and Cotuit, Mass.; it was a time far removed from now but I can't remember any antics as funny as those in the article.
