Think back often to interesting local folks that I had the pleasure of calling my friends, many just ordinary people….
William Wright – Bladenboro, As a youngster in the ‘boro we would hang-out ’til bout midnight on the corner, at the stoplight. William was good entertainment.
Bill Ferguson – Elizabethtown, operated a service station…quiet a character and good company if you needed a ‘lift’. He always had a good story, usually on himself.
Miss Wanda Campbell – Clerk of Court….Bladen’s Ambassador of Good Will…Everybody loved Miss Wanda, she was extraordinary.
Carl McCulloch – Long-time Register of Deeds. At election time he passed out Kits & Mary Janes’ and other penny candy. Candy will draw attention.
Bobby Simmons – No one has ever been a better friend to me and no one enjoyed a sale with door busters more than Bobby. He was a retail pro, before turning to woodworking in his later days.
Just a few, should have never gotten into the name calling business. There are so many more. I could fill up the page….

In the course of American history, great steps are taken by ordinary people, and ordinary people are not perfect. Tommy Lee Jones
