Looking Back

I just finished proof reading our "Looking Back" feature, compiled every issue by Joanne Mires. Every time I read it I learn something or I at least go "hmm."

There's always familiar names and places, reminders of how Charlotte County communities developed and almost shocking parallels drawn between what was happening 10, 30, 60 and 90 years ago and what's happening today.

This week you can read about Deer Island's Class of '78 and spot some familiar names in the cast list of the SSHS Drama Club (Helen Johnston, you've always been an actor!)

Then there's a report about a fiery young politician who was busting onto the scene with some big promises. His name was Sheldon Lee.

And a note about a former Courier editor passing away... at age 45.

Hmmm.
