Kayakers Used ‘Poor Judgment’

Feb. 22, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: I just read the story about the river rescue of the kayaker in Goshen Pass. Kudos to the rescuers. What the article failed to mention was the names of the two people who used exceedingly poor judgment and selfishly exposed those first responders to danger, not to mention the financial cost of their folly. I certainly hope they make significant donations to the five departments involved in the rescue.

I personally would like to have seen them identified as it would only be appropriate to have all of us try to contact them with our opinions and comments. DANNY HOEHNE Rockbridge County
