In his remarks, Hunt said "Now is the time to look

the opportunity to look at our past, measure our
present and mold our future." Hunt mentioned
several historical aspects of the county, its
surrounding region and the state. He said, "North
Carolina did indeed provide leadership for our fight
for independence."
"Here in the South," said Hunt, "the day will come
when the nation will look to us for leadership. We've
been criticized as a region as being out of step with
the times, but our southern way of life is different and
a way of life more people will be coming around to.
We in the South have a set of values and respect for
uiwc values.

searching on the public's part in order for a
rededication in the spirit of America.
