    Remembering A Lowcountry Voice Now Silent.

    As I write this..it is the day before Thanksgiving and I am remembering a former colleague of mine. Dan Moon is gone.

    Gimme a ‘Break’ at the Olympics!

    Remember a little while back when there was serious discussion about adding a new “event” to the Olympic Games: Ballroom dancing?

    Saying Goodbye

    I accompanied my wife Karen to Detroit recently to memorialize the man without whom it would not be possible for her to be in my life. I never met Andrew Henderson.
