Letter: After fire, new sailing facility badly needed

To the Editor:

Thank you for the terrific article on the fire at the home of Brown sailing.  Now that the disaster has at least been reported in The Herald, we can begin efforts to raise awareness and commitment across the University to build a Brown-owned waterfront sailing facility, comparable to other schools'.  A place where all students, not just the sailing team, can go anytime.  Now we can editorialize on the need and value for something Brown should have replaced when the first Brown-owned sailing facility, acquired in 1937 as a gift from the class of 1908, was destroyed.
