William Lloyd Adams is a Baltimore "icon," and his passing is definitely the end of an era ("Former numbers runner became venture capitalist," June 29). I was born and raised in Baltimore, and for my 75 years Mr. Adams has been a force in not only the black community, but in the Baltimore community. The Sun's own Antero Pietila, in his book "Not in My Neighborhood," illuminates this as he writes about another Baltimore original, former state treasurer and civic leader John A. Luetkemeyer.
