Dear Editor, Maybe it is the water, or the lack of critical thinking on behalf of readers of The Standard, but I certainly have to wonder about Mr. Nelson’s claim of being a White Nationalist Christian, who says he has had an afterlife experience (see his letter in the Sept. 25 edition of The Standard).

While the results showed that much of the field found the fishing to be difficult, someone will always…
