To The Editors:
The question “Who would remember 1816 in 1907?” is asked on “The Way We Were” page, June 2007. People would indeed be familiar with 1816 – “Eighteen hundred and froze to death”, “The year without a summer.” A far-distant volcano exploded, its debris darkening the atmosphere, bringing frost and snow every month of that year.
