Editor:

Thank you, Chip Sharpe, for reminding the Journal and its readers about the significant story of the relaunching of the first peace boat, The Golden Rule, and its home harbor here in Humboldt ("Mailbox," Jan. 7). As I read more of last week's issue of our free weekly newspaper, it made me realize how important peace stories are to our world and I suggest that a special section or column dedicated to peace work be featured regularly. There are many wonderful stories, large and small, out there to be told and shared. Yes, we can benefit by reading about peace as much as pot.
