TO THE EDITOR:
I had mixed feelings about the story in The Daily Tar Heel (“Rathskeller opening delayed,” Feb. 3) some days ago about the delay in the opening of the Rathskeller.
I had been looking forward to it very much, and in a way, I was disappointed with the delay. But on the other hand, I am pleased to see that Ms. Fountain says the opening will likely be “after the summer.” This would put it, hopefully, in September, which is the month in which the Rathskeller first opened in 1948. (I can’t recall the exact date.)
I was there for the opening, and for a pre-opening night party because I knew the Danzigers — who created that icon. So I call on all the other people who were “present at the creation” to keep watch for the re-opening date, and to be there.
