Dear Editor,

I’ve been wondering why the walking trails where you can go into the wilderness to keep distance are closed, but tennis courts are open and they all touch the ball and they’re not family?

Editor’s note: this letter came to us from a young Morning Star reader who was left with questions after a man at the tennis courts at Marshall Fields asked him to toss a ball back.
