Letter to the Editor

Thanks to good Samaritan:
Dear Editor,

I would like to thank the lady who found my purse in the Wal-Mart parking lot. Everything was still in it and I appreciated that so much.

It makes me so happy to know there are still honest, caring people in this community when we read about so much crime.

Thank you again,
Wanda Boyd
Holly Springs

Correction

In the article, “Close to Home - my father’s band of brothers,” Lois Boyd’s name was inadvertently misspelled.

The article was written by Thomas M. Boyd of Alexandria, Va. He is the first cousin of Wanda Boyd and Lois Boyd of Holly Springs and the son of the late L.B. (Pete) Boyd, Holly Springs.

We regret the error.
