Occasionally I am very proud of the community in which I live. This week has been one of those times:
- Kudos to Covenant House, the YWCA, the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce, a Flash Mob and others who rose up to say that West Virginia is a place of tolerance, not hate.
- Kudos to West Virginia media for questioning whether we want companies that consider death a “cost of doing business” in our communities.
Congratulations to the Lincoln County High School speech and debate team for its second place finish at Marshall University two weekends ago and fifth place finish at the State Tournament this past weekend. Not bad for a group that stared blankly at those of us trying to explain what speech and debate was three short years ago. Best wishes in particular to this year’s seniors Alex Collins, Steven Hoffman, Cody Cremeans, and Sara Hoke.
It is great to see the best thing about Duval High School make the transition to the consolidated Lincoln County HIgh School.
Dennis Taylor is not the only member of the Taylor family involved in community service activities. Check out the activities of his twin and better half Denise Taylor Claridades, who recently returned from a medical mission to Haiti.
