For the past 2 or 3 days, BladenOnline has had more than our share of issues … technical issues … Problems above our pay grade … with the folks who provide the website … Our apologies … When I woke early this AM prepared to begin a new day … I thought of the old Ray Charles tune … ‘It’s Crying Time Again’ … but better days are just ahead…
A salute to the Campbell family … Mac and Sylvia … They are the 2022 Braves Club Members of the Year … by UNCP … Pembroke State University … and so deserving … Congratulations…
