OpinionFielder’s Choice Battling dorm stairs Moving out wasn’t quite as difficult as moving in. Thursday, I made the one-day, down-there-and-back trip to the University of Southern Mississippi to help Emma and her roommate Crystal move out of their dormitory. Close to Nowhere Happy birthday to Remy I usually write my column on Tuesday afternoon, at the last possible moment. I’m writing this one on Tuesday morning, just as my granddaughters have gotten on the school bus and headed off — leaving peace and quiet in the two houses (ours and theirs). Remy, our youngest granddaughter, snuck in early this morning and into the bed to try and get an extra five minutes sleep. Upon discovery (we go through this every single school morning), she immediately began humming “Happy Birthday.” The Preacher’s Corner Little incidents create lasting memories Shirley Forester Ross often writes to share stories inspired by my columns. I am delighted to hear from readers, especially when interesting memories are stirred by these musings. In a recent letter, commenting on the child I wrote about who was accidentally locked in our church after she had tagged along to listen to her aunt practice the organ, Shirley wrote of an incident when her father, George Forester, worked at the Coca-Cola plant on South Center Street. Letters To The Editor Heartfelt thanks: I am writing to you because I would like to thank everyone on behalf of my daughter, Rhonda Nance, and her family who were injured during the May 2 tornado. Your prayers and generosity are greatly appreciated. Hometown Heroes Please take time to remember our local “heroes” who are serving in war zones around the world.
