LETTER: Virgie's dahlias remind her of her parents' flowers

Linda,I love the picture of Virgie and her flowers. It reminds me of my parents, Zeno and Ruby Lawhorn. They grew Dahlias and measured them and passed them out to friends and family. They gathered all varieties and saved them year after year.

By Sue Stivers

Our corporate sponsor for the month is the Don Franklin Ford-Mercury-Nissan Dealership, which is owned by Don Franklin, along with his sons, Eddie and Dan Franklin.

I am an example of why the Don Franklin Dealerships are so successful. Dan Franklin, one of the Chamber Board members, was to make the remarks about the business today, but the first thing I knew, he had me agreeing to do this for him.

When I visited your site, I was excited and after reviewing several articles, I was ready to make you my home page.
