Letters

Some time ago, I submitted a letter to the editor decrying the sad state of our community when my wife was left on the side of the road with a disabled vehicle and two small children in the car and nary a person offered to help.  
Today, I eat those words and apologize to this wonderful community. Life has a way of setting you straight on matters and my correction has been delivered.  
My family and I were recently in a very bad car accident, in which my wife was suffered life-threatening injuries.

The Kershaw Composite Squad of the Civil Air Patrol would like to thank you for the newspaper articles written on behalf of our Wreaths Across America campaign.  The articles written by Gregory A.

Greg Gregory, local businessman and former state senator, recently penned his viewpoint on an old Southern standby in the “Charlotte Observer.”
Mr. Gregory, a tea convert himself, likened the effect of sweetened ice tea to Sherman’s march on the southland.

Jamie, a husband of 17 years and father of three children, was diagnosed with stage 3 esophageal cancer. What we have learned from our experience is that life must go on. We still worship, still raise our children, still attend our boys’ ballgames, still work and take care of household duties.
