Letters

From FLOAT

    Thank you for the article, “That Floating Feeling,” in your January issue. Reporter Wanda Hennig and photographer Jan Stürmann did a great job and were fun to work with. Have a prosperous new year.

Remember JLAC

    I enjoy your magazine but was disappointed that you missed highlighting Jack London Aquatic Center in your January 2008 article, “Stoked on Sweat.” JLAC offers rowing, sculling and kayaking classes and ongoing programs and just recently started a master women’s rowing program that works out three times per week. And there is a dedicated sculling group that is out on the water also three times per week. Lake Merritt also has a rowing club. Maybe there is a future article there.

Key Route Ken

    This is Ken Shattock, native Oaklander for 48 years. I’m also known as “Key Route Ken” on the Internet to my railroad fans. I helped with Jeff Swenerton’s article “When Trains Ruled the East Bay” [January 2008] on the Key Trains.  The article was great. Thank you.

Clarification

We had the wrong page number listed for the jump of Being There in the January 2008 issue. For all you Matt Dibble fans who want to know the rest of the story, the article, “Phantom Train,” continued on page 97.
