CHARLEY COMPANY

Thank you for the article on Michelle Fierro (“Clear Notions of the Abstract,” by Kristine McKenna, Oct. 6). She is an insightful, exciting painter.

As the dutiful daughter of a former journalist named Charley who tirelessly fought for the correct spelling of his name, I must point out that John Steinbeck’s novel is “Travels With Charley,” not Charlie.
