GREENVILLE — I wanted to share with the Tarboro High School class of 1970 how very much we appreciate their kindness toward remembering our family members that have passed on as well as honoring the teachers.

We were truly blessed to be a part of the lighting of the candles on Aug. 7.

Thank you Connie Coker, Anne James and others that make this happen. We are truly thankful for your kindness.

Each of our businesses has felt the agonizing effects of cancer. We have lost colleagues, employees and customers to the disease. We have watched as our loved ones and coworkers have cared for a family member or business partner whose life has been wrenched apart after a cancer diagnosis.

‘What exactly does Tarboro have that's going to bring the tourist's’
I read with interest the article in today's paper titled, “Rotary Club hears pitch for tourism”. I work at one of the two local hotes mentioned in the article. And as it concerns an occupancy tax, I would like to throw my two cents in (some may think that's all it's worth), it would cause a major hardship for both of the local hotels. I am sure Ms. Bailey-Taylor is wonderful at what she does, however, has she ever driven through the parking lot of either hotel on a Friday or Saturday night?

I have always coached because I loved the game's place
Coaching high school football has been a passion for me since I graduated from Northern Nash in 1967. That fall Coach Worthington allowed me to come back and help with the junior varsity and varsity linemen. In the 40-plus years since, fall has usually found me on a high school football field as a volunteer or paid coaching staff member.

Dear Editor,
On Dec. 29th, 2011, the Daily Southerner had an article concerning a policeman crossing the white line and hitting another car. Evidently the policeman was not even reprimanded.
On Oct. 25th, 2011, a policeman stopped me on Howard Ave. and was very vociferous before the encounter was over the policeman was screaming at me. He stated that if I told anyone about this conversation he would see that I would lose my license. Also, earlier in the month or late September another officer stopped for running a red light, plain and simple. Both officers brought up the fact that old people suffered from dementia. I called the police dept. and talked to their supervisor about these conversations. He appeared not to condone their actions too. Both officers seem to think that because I have a web site, it seems to be problematic and it should be for Edgecombe County. But it is not for the police dept. to incriminate me because I have a web site. (www.cohiec.org). Or it is not for a policeman to say I suffer from dementia without a diagnosis. The medical profession and some of the law enforcement officers just perplexed at the old people and incapable of being able to have decent judgment, if I got a ticket and had to take the driving test again, the police officer should have to do the same thing. After all, I did not hit a car.

84 years as a reader

RE: WWI

Yours was the first Southerner article remembering WWI that I can recall in my 84 years as a reader, many thanks.
You failed to mention if your list of veterans contained any of the girls that served. There is one that I will never forget, Katherine Pender. The Pender Museum bares her name. She drove an ambulance on the front lines in Italy. The 1917-18 fighting in Italy was harsh and bloody, but seldom mentioned in history books. Ernest Hemmingway was also an ambulance driver there and was badly wounded by German artillery.
