Logan actually visited the island in San Francisco Bay in 1978 as part of a peaceful Native American ceremony. Smoke Signals regrets the error Letters welcome Letters should be exclusive to smok signflz.

All letters are subject to editing for space, grammar and, on occasion, factual accuracy. Only two letters per writer are allowed during a three-month period. Letters written in response to other letter writers should address the issue at hand and, rather than mentioning the other writer by name, should refer to the date of the letter published. Discourse should be civil and people should be referred to in a respectful manner. Letters deemed in poor taste will not be printed.
