As a former poli sci major 🙄 I got a hoot out of the common tern/Comintern pun 👏

Seriously I wrote the *entire* Gazette except that 1 joke? Was by my son (unpaid copy editor) who kept laughing reading « Common Tern » a bird he’d never heard of. He thought it was so funny. I finally said great. Let’s put it in as a joke. Hearing you liked it will be golden. 😆

It “terns” out that I love leading family bird walks and I would be happy to introduce you and your son to Our Tern 😀. Thank you so much for sharing our story with your readers.

Hey! Thanks! Gonna ad to social media but FYI Gazette readers report they got a NYT Sunday x-word clue because they read the Gazette and TERNS was an answer. I'll tag ourtern on the social!

PS ad = add — I hate making typos even in comments!

You mean....he laughed because he already was aware of the accidental similarity to the Communist party? He is that politically/historically aware?

Yes he is. Have you ever met him? (JK)
