Yvonne Kolbenschlag comments on old Parson property

Commends June and Bill Parson for their efforts to remove old house

By Vonnie Kolbenschlag
Personal opinion

Memories of an idyllic time do not hit everyone the same. Perhaps a photo or two or the old house would help remembrances of times past. I've read that old structures such as this do not impress most people and give a bad image of a town. The other thing is that June Parson has taken so much criticism because people believe she will not remove - what many people term "an eyesore". June and her husband both want it removed and they have tried and tried to contact the other kin - spending a lot on searches and attorneys.



I feel sorry for June. I tell other people who blame her that it is not her fault. I truly can say, having talked to other people, that many people think that house represents a bad image for persons coming into Columbia. I don't know how long ago an old man sat on that porch, but it is difficult to even visualize that now, because the porch is kaput!

Please have some kind thoughts for June, who gets unjustly blamed by many who do not see what you seem to admire. - Vonnie Kolbenschlag
