MAINE SUNDAY TELEGRAM • December 27, 2020
I have a question in response to Staff Writer Deirdre Fleming’s article on last Sunday’s Outdoors page headlined “Yarmouth man to attempt Triple Crown of hiking – all in one year.” Why is this newsworthy? This article reads as a full-on demonstration of privilege. Two guys on break from an elite college want a “meaningful, life-changing” adventure. At a time when our country has seen nothing but deep chasms of division in nearly every aspect of society, why advertise yet another example of it? ~ Julie Logan, Brunswick
