Thoughts While ShavingI love living in rural Bladen County.  Over the past few days, enjoyed watching hundreds of birds and a few squirrels enjoyed treats from a nearby pear tree.

And as I walked to the mailbox to pick up a regional morning paper, saw 4 very small deer walking across a neighbors yard and when they saw me they picked up their speed and galloped to the nearby wooded area.

One of North Carolina’s most successful high school football coaches is making a move.  Wallace Rose Hill’s Joey Price resigned after a great career with the Bulldogs.  Prior to that stop, he had a successful career at South Columbus.  News accounts, some provided by John Clark, indicate his bride is from Columbus County and the move back to the area may have been planned for some time.  Based on several accounts, his coaching career is not over.  He is eligible to retire in North Carolina.  A move back to or near Columbus County may provide him with opportunities across the state line.  He is one of the area’s best coaches….ever.  In my former broadcasting career, he was always a gentleman and very helpful.  But, when the game began, he was smart, tough, well organized, a good guy.

Lyman Horne, Executive VP and General Manager of Star Communications, announced his retirement recently, effective early August, 2017.  Yesterday, he was awarded Lifetime Achievement Award by the National Telephone Cooperative Association (NTCA) in San Diego, California.  A well deserved honor.

Duke (18-5) will host the UNC Tar Heels (21-4) 8 PM tonight.  It will be televised on ESPN.

A leader is one who knows the way, goes all the way, and shows the way.  John C. Maxwell

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.  John Quincy Adams

People ask the difference between a leader and a boss.  The leader leads, and the boss drives.  Theodore Roosevelt.
