John,
We will surely keep Tommy's family in our prayers. His home going to be with our Lord is not the kind of news that we want to hear about those we really care about.
While I had not seen Tommy in years, I remember being in the Bishopville National Guard unit with him and have only the best things to remember about him.
As I remember, Tommy was indeed a credit and blessing to those whose lives he touched.
Needless to say, he will be missed.
Leo DuBose
Letter to Editor - November 6, 2009
John,
Thank you for the link to The Bishopville Presbyterian Church News. Otherwise I wouldn't have known about Ewell Black's wreck and subsequent fall. Isn't it ironic that the news came to me from Bishopville when I live less than 15 miles from Presbyterian Village and Cobb WellStar Hospital?
I went by to see Mr. Black today. He was sitting up, in good spirits, and ready to start his rehab therapy tomorrow. The pin was inserted into his hip on Sunday and he was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday. He expects to be in the Morris Center at Presbyterian Village for 4 - 6 weeks of rehab and then to return to his residence. Typically he is concerned that "they're treating me like a baby and like I'm somebody important!" Wouldn't it be wonderful if we let him know how important he is to us?
His address is Presbyterian Village, Morris Center (Room 8 A), 2000 East West Connector, Austell, GA 30106.
The news about Tommy Alexander is heart breaking. He and his family are certainly in my prayers. Again, thank you for helping us mavericks keep up with the home folks.

Bishopville, SC Mayor Suffers Stroke
From the Desk of Rachael Bradbury
Dear all,
Since I have emailed you in the past with information on the upcoming Images of America book I am working on, I wanted to let you know there is still time to share your photographs for publication. I am looking for another 50-100 pictures and hope that you will consider contributing one or two...or ten of your historical Lee County photos with me. The only guidelines are that pictures are original, pre-1960 and are not blurry. Cracks, spots, and wear all give character and authenticity and pictures with minor damage are welcomed.
If you have any questions about the book before you make a decision, please do not hesitate to contact me.
In addition, or alternatively, if you would share my information with others on your email lists that I may not know, I would sincerely appreciate it. I will be in Bishopville the Monday and Tuesday, possibly Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I will also be in Columbia that week. I will be glad to come to you and I will also have my scanner set up at the Cotton Museum.

Message from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources
The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources is researching the possibility of making changes to South Carolina's recreational hunting and fishing licenses. Before we recommend any changes to the South Carolina General Assembly, we want your opinions about the license changes. We are researching the possibility of a multi-year and an apprentice license.
SCDNR has heard from some hunters and anglers that they would prefer a license that is good for 365 days after the purchase date instead of a license that is good from July 1-June 30 every year. Unfortunately, SCDNR's state-appropriated funding has been cut more than 40% this fiscal year. Because of these huge budget cuts, it is not financially feasible to offer a 365-day license at this time. DNR staff will continue to look into this option in the future.
Please take a few moments to complete an online survey by visiting https://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=QPH1kQqc23v_2fvC4nie_2b_2fNQ_3d_3d. After we compile survey results to determine what license changes are the most popular for hunters and anglers, we will take the recommendations to SCDNR Board for approval and if approved the recommendations will be sent to the General Assembly to try and encourage them to pass legislation to enact the suggested changes to the South Carolina hunting and fishing license structure.

Lee County South Carolina People are the Best People in the World
From the desk of the Editor
Change should not be done for the sake of change unless it is a strategy to accomplish some overall goal and the goal in this case is to keep readers of this blog informed.
Typically there are strong resistances to change, however I'm sure that will not be the case when 'Natives' friends open their e-mail and see some of the changes being made to this blog.... especially the link features being added on the right hand side of the blog page.
This new feature was suggested by a reader who wanted to receive an expanded view of the happenings in Lee County and we felt that the best way to do this at this time, was to provide the expanded coverage as a link.
Have an community interest event coming up? Let us know and we will do our best to post it in a timely manner.
