It's a sad commentary on my life and that of the newspaper that I find the most interesting parts of the daily News & Record to be the obituaries, classified ads and the puzzles.
I remember, and long for, the olden days having two newspapers delivered daily and more information in them than one could digest at one sitting.
I especially miss the "society" pages, with coverage and pictures of local meetings, weddings and other social events as well as interesting tidbits about the lives of our friends and neighbors thanks to folks like Martha Long and Anne Cantrell White. Clippings about my mother's civic activities fill a treasured scrapbook. We could be assured of a mention of her wonderful Earl-e Edition Christmas cards almost every year.
At least the sports pages still publish game statistics. That's more than can be said for the stock exchanges (though who wants to see them these days!)
I know "the times they are a-changing" and I should be more forward thinking, but getting my daily fix of news and other information from TV or the computer just doesn't cut it.
Hang in there, N&R!
