To Light at Last

Thank you for telling a story that deserves to be told ("Trapped," August 9). I was the spokesman for the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority in 1999, and I lived it. As you know, the same day that Billy Juse and Tim Nordeen died in their Humvee in that tunnel deep under Massachusetts Bay, the bodies of John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife, and sister-in-law were recovered off Martha's Vineyard. As a result, the tunnel story was buried; most people have no recollection of the tragedy when I bring it up today. Thank you for honoring these brave men who lost their lives doing dangerous work that most of us could never fathom.
