On this Memorial Day when we acknowledge those who have fought and died in the cause of freedom, I want to thank all of the men and women in my family who have served in the military. While not all died in combat, there are many on my father’s side of the family who served […]
This past weekend was a wonderful musical experience with two concerts at the Winnsboro Center for the Arts by Peter Yarrow and his son, Christopher Yarrow. What amazing talents! I was taken back to my younger days when the music of Peter, Paul and Mary awakened the idealist and activist in me. What heady days
