STORY CAUSED UNWARRANTED ANXIETY

YOUR failure to report all of the facts in the recent diving accident at a Rockbridge quarry (June 19 news story, "Schoolteacher drowns while scuba diving") created skepticism among those who dive and unwarranted anxiety among those who don't. To a diver, losing a fin is as hazardous as losing a bathing suit. There were other mitigating factors - why didn't you include them? Diving has a dangerous enough reputation without fueling more controversy about it. CHERYL ANN ROBINSON ROANOKE
