FEEDBACK

I loved Geoff Boucher’s article about Norman Lear [“Prime-Time Provocateur,” June 14]. Mr. Lear is my second cousin on my mother’s side, and I have always been very proud of his accomplishments. It gave me special joy to see the mention of his early writing partner and my father, Ed Simmons. He went on to make his own contributions to TV history, including winning five Emmys for “The Carol Burnett Show.”
