Letters

To the editor:

I am writing in support of Jim MacCallum for Clerk of Superior Court. As a resident of Brunswick County, I feel we need a person who will bring to the office the management and administrative skills necessary to handle the ever-growing caseload.

Jim has practiced law for more than 33 years, and during those years, he has been an effective leader and manager.

To the editor:

I would like to express my feelings about the upcoming election involving Dewey Hill and Tristan Patterson.

This will be my first time ever voting. In the past, no one inspired me enough to want to vote and, honestly, I didn’t feel like my vote would change the outcome of the election anyway.

However, Tristan Patterson has changed my view on voting entirely. When I met him, my first impression was, “Wow, this is someone who will change our district for the better.”

To the editor:

Sometimes families call Brunswick Family Assistance, churches and other organizations seeking help to pay for funeral expenses. I am writing to address the need to make final arrangements in advance. There are no provisions in our county for indigent funerals, except in the case of an unclaimed body.

To the letter:

I apologize to Corvette owners for your being given an incorrect impression of what I said.

Fortunately, e-mail messages provide documentation. I wrote: “Possibly Corvettes are toys of retirees who moved here from the North. When the council decides whether or not Corvettes should go first, please consider the feelings of the average Brunswick County native.”
