To me, the purpose of Higher Education is to broaden the mind in the humanities and train the gifted for science or math. The ideal result is professionals who are conversant about things broader than their narrow area of expertise.

We attended the 51st Annual Stunt Night at Washington High School Performing Arts Center. It was more than raining, but the crowd was good and the excellence of the skits was obvious.

The "Tax-exempt, Non-profit" status of any church deserves a re-examination by all tax agencies. I fail to see how we can benefit organizations which foment hate and a clear political position.

I just returned from a visit to my almost 97-year-old mother in Atlanta. We stayed with my classmate from Clarkston High School 1963. He and his wife are both in the same class with me so we are all Baby boomers now reaching the final stage of marriage---RETIREMENT YEARS.

My wife and I enjoyed a special day of remembering and looking back at the Methodist Church in Bath. Some 100 people gathered to celebrate the Easters of long ago in the early 1900's.

This is the biggest bunch of OPPOSITE-SPEAK I have ever read. I can't believe people who put women down and hate abortion as they do would have a woman say such. Barbara Bush is the ONLY Republican Woman to tell the "woman haters of Conservatism" to stick it where the sun don't shine.

Last night at the Washington High School Auditorium was an epiphany for me. I saw Quality Theater of the kind you would have to drive 8 hours to my Atlanta to experience, yet here it was in the corner of Little Washington (the original) in spades.

I remember, along with older folks, the days of youth when time dragged by. You looked at your grandparents as so old and wise. You wanted to do the things they did and, with my Granddaddy Williams, drive the pickup and tractor. His farm in Pickens County, SC, was the land of my dreams and wonder

I have a new friend in Fayetteville by the name of Jim Johnson. I have known of him for years. For the first time I was able to call and talk with him. The result was his sending to me his new book: “Combat Trauma - A Personal Look at Long Term Consequences.”

It is hard to believe how fast time flies. When I was 18 major things were happening in our country. I was fully aware of Selma and the march because Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a resident of Atlanta.
