For some, 70 isn't all that warm

To the editor:

In reference to D.J. Dawson's letter about people who use their fireplaces when it is 70 degrees outside:

When people get older, 70 degrees is not warm. Just a few weeks ago, we spent a night away from home where the thermostat was kept at 70 degrees, and we were freezing. So have some consideration for others.

I would keep my fires going as long as I needed them to be comfortable.
