A Florida State Journalist and P.R. man happened to see me reading the September 16th issue-he expressed interest and after discovering the paper was a “weekly", he was very enthusiastic with the “lay outs"-the local news items appearing on the front page-the amount of space allotted to pictures, the 8 column spread, etc. I explained that this was a “special edition" featuring the new Mountain Heritage High School and this impressed him even more. 1 thought it wouldn't hurt for you to know that your talents and abilities are recognized and appreciated. We have a little place in Celo and travel up whenever my teaching schedule permits. i- ■ Cordially , a | Robert Sedorc Professor Violin, Viola, Florida Slate University Messer Appointed Director Os 888 The appointment of Nor ma Messer as Executive Director of the Better Busi ness Bureau of Asheville and Western North Carolina was announced Wednesday by Richard B.
