To the Editor: The editor’s note of June 9 failed to mention that in my original letter to The Hull Times, I specifically stated that an upcoming June 5 event “could be construed” in a certain manner. Specifically, my fundamental concern focused on the mixed messaging with regard to an event that the organizers admitted…
To the Editor, I share the sentiments of the editor in regard to the peddling of grossly out-of-date, homophobic tropes by prominent figures from the community. Unfortunately, local examples like this are more evidence of the persistent, never-ending crusade to trample on LGBT rights from coast to coast. The unfortunate fear mongering about “grooming” is…
To the Editor: We, the Hull Pride Board of Directors, collectively refute the opinion expressed in a letter to the editor that appeared in the June 9 edition of The Hull Times about an event we sponsored as part of our community Hull Pride Weekend June 4-5. As we have done for the past 10…
To the Editor: In response to Mr. Minelli’s letter to the editor regarding Pride events, I implore him to define this community by which he is setting his “standards.” My family has been attending Pride events since my now elementary school-aged children were infants to show support for our community of friends and neighbors who…
To the Editor: As you can see, it’s been a while, but the constant graffiti problem continues at Fort Revere. The fort was graffitied twice over the last weekend with foreign language. It was sprayed on the anti-graffiti painted surfaces and needs to be power-washed. A thank you to the Hull Police for their patrols…
To the Editor: When I was serving two combat tours in Korea with the Second Infantry Division and the First Cavalry Division, the first question from my fellow GIs was, “Where are you from?” I would proudly answer, Hull, Massachusetts. After the 1978 blizzard, I was the government official in charge of the insurance team…
To the Editor: When I first heard my nephew, Dr. John F. Gould III, was applying for the principalship of Hull High, it was of no surprise to me. This is his alma mater, which had given a young John the drive and diligence to go on to achieve multiple master’s – all in education.…

To the Editor: In response to Charlie Gould’s letter to the editor on June 2 regarding his nephew, Dr. John F Gould III, applying for the Hull High principal position, I am equally surprised that the search committee did not acknowledge Dr. Gould’s extensive educational background. The recent status update that two candidates have been…
To the Editor: On page 16 of the June 2 edition of The Hull Times, an article promoted a “drag queen” event scheduled for June 5 at Nantasket Flatts restaurant. The article advised that there would be “adult content,” yet the same event simultaneously marketed itself as being appropriate for individuals “16 years and older.” Adult-themed…
