Goodbye, Friend

Goodbye, Friend

In the early 1990s, my college friend, Julie Hanssen, enlisted in the U.S. A r m y . While she was in basic training, she asked me to tape her favorite show, “Friends.” This was years before DVRs and streaming services. All we had then were VCRs and VHS tapes. I agreed, even though I wasn’t a fan of the show. Just judging by the title, it seemed so generic. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

For Whitesell

Editor, The News-Gazette: Twenty years ago this November, the voters of Rockbridge County elected me as their commissioner of the revenue. I consider it an honor and I thank the citizens for the support they have shown me over the years. I will retire effective the end of my term on Dec. 31 and will miss seeing and working with you all. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

For Clark

Editor, The News-Gazette: I’ve had the privilege of knowing Michele Clark for more than 25 years. I first got to know her personally as I taught her children. Later on I was fortunate to have crossed paths in her professional life while she was employed with BB&T. Oddly enough, the banking relationship (due to an unfortunate incident) carried over into her position of victim witness director for the city of Buena Vista. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

Younger Candidates Commended

Younger Candidates Commended

Editor, The News-Gazette: I disagree with Susan Wood’s (Oct. 18) criticism of a candidate’s qualifications based on age and work experience. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

For Ayers

Editor, The News-Gazette: My support for Leslie Ayers for county supervisor in the Buffalo District is due to the good job she’s done representing her constituents during her current term on the board. She has shown that she listens to all points of view. Along the way, she has done her homework and does not simply follow a shallow agenda. Please vote and consider supporting Leslie Ayers.CLAY DEVENING Lexington -Editor, The News-Gazette: I have been a resident in Rockbridge County since 1948. I have always felt that women should have a voice on the Board of Supervisors. This is why I was so delighted when Leslie Ayers was elected to be the supervisor for the Buffalo District. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

‘World-Class Music’ Events Happening At Lenfest

‘World-Class Music’ Events Happening At Lenfest

Oct. 30, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: The music was transcendent, the acoustics were perfect, the weather was balmy, there was ample parking right near the entrance… so why was attendance so sparse at the concert at Washington and Lee’s Lenfest Center Saturday night? 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

For Harris

Editor, The News-Gazette: Susan Wood wrote that she was “shocked” that local Democrats selected Jade Harris as their candidate, questioning her age, financial management skills, and experience in government. You can’t have the latter until you’re elected but Miss Harris majored in political science in college. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM
