Editor,

My husband and I moved to Oak Harbor in 1957 and started our business, Quinn Glass.

Cutting and installing glass were only parts of the work. Taking phone calls was very important. When one of the jets flew over, I politely told the person to hold on as I was not able to hear. We would wait until that jet flew over.

We certainly never lost any of our patrons to the “noise” of our wonderful pilots doing their jobs. My advice to the disdainers is: Try to find the positive things to say about living near a military base.
