Editor:

I read the nice article regarding the Teal Line linking transit bus service between Harford and Cecil counties.

I must point out there is a rather glaring omission in that article. There is no mention regarding the personal dedication and long-standing efforts by Mr. Kevin Racine, a Harford County citizen and resident of Havre de Grace.

Mr. Racine has been a relentless citizen advocate on behalf of the public for bus and rail transit connections. I believe it is through his continuous and tireless efforts over the years that this day has finally come for us all.

He has personally ridden most of the region's bus lines and has attended countless meetings throughout the East Coast. Through his own personal experience, he has become the voice of the public and has been key in the successful struggle for better transit connections. Indeed, it is Mr. Racine who should be standing at the forefront of the group in that photograph.

Thank you Kevin!
