"The Times They Are A'changing" someone once sang. Are you going to change with them or keep living in the past? A happy medium seems to be the phrase that seems to come to mind. What is my happy one might not be yours though. I read about a McClure who once drove off a bunch of blacks. I even heard that all misfits, deserters and other lost souls found their way to Brunswick County. Improving things are what is the most important to me. Economically developing them is another. There are still a lot of nice old oak trees around here. Just saw a couple behind Costco and Olive Garden. We will all survive. The question is how comortably will it be for everyone. Have an open mind, don't be prejudiced and think about others instead of yourself. You will find great success if you do. Oh, and today is my birthday. Jim Horn
