Blog 130: Important People

By Vernon M. Herron 

     This blog is designed and written to recognize, with thanks, our technical staff and the nine or ten persons who guest-write appealing articles for the Herron Speaks blog during its lifetime. 
     Producing unique blogs can be stimulating and fun. Many yell as they go along, “I love your blogs.” I cannot take total credit for this project. A technical staff is always on hand to check, redefine and post each published blog while many guest-writers constantly bring new thought to our attention. 

The following persons comprise our technical staff:  

The following persons have appeared as guest writers at one point: 

 

     Judge Shirley Fulton was our first guest-writer. In Blog 55 she shares with us the distinction and significance of the Wadsworth House. She informs us that it is a “symbol of eloquence and distinction.”
      Mrs. Barbara Hendricks is a prolific writer. She writes with imagination and creativity which are beyond measure. Those techniques can be seen in Blog 57, which is “I Remember Winky.” In Blog 99, she writes about “The Power of Suffixes.” Here, her educational abilities come into play.
      Donald Jones refuses to be impeded by his handicapped status. In Blogs 73 and 97, he enlightens us all of his “Christian Faith Which is Tested and Accepted.”
      Mrs. Arlene McCorkle writes as a former High School Class Advisor. In Blog 68, she talks about her keen mind; in Blog 69, she talks about life after 90; and finally in Blog 70, she gives us her final words.
      Even though Deborah Nance did not submit a picture of herself or a biographical sketch, she still can be my Attorney any day. In Blog 94, she pays tribute to her late mother. In Blog 111, she demonstrates her writing skills in “Time, Hope, Changes, Forward, President Obama and Some Black Lawyers.”
      Nicole Roper once lived in Charlotte which led her to write “Life’s Lessons in Charlotte.” See Blog 119.
      Ken Simmons has written three articles: Blog 101, “Why We Can’t Fix Public Education”; Blog 120, “Curtailing Bullying”; and Blog 125, “When the Pied Piper Comes to Town.” In each instance, he speaks as one who knows!
      Mrs. Constance Thornton writes in Blog 92 on “The Memory of Tricky and Kate.” This writing takes us into the animal’s world which we all love.      Finally, Mark Woodson sums it all up with Blog 63: “Be successful, Be Independent, Be Employed.” He said it all. 
     These are important people. We honor them with our thanks and remembrance.
