Page A14: Jenifer Beausliel wrote to the editor: "I grew up in Maryuland under the roof of an ardent and active Democrat, yet my mother fairly blessed Charles McC. Mathias Jr. ,and we held him as the good standard of Republicans. Mr. Mathias was about as Maryland as you could get, a real man of the people and a gentleman who stood up for all the right principles. I hope politicians on both sides of the aisle will take note of Mr. Mathlas's lessons on civility and gallantry. The light of the world has dimmed with his passing." I respected Senator Mathias for his good deed to the folks in Maryland as a resident of Maryland since 1965.
