Newton ville Alive (Continued from page 5) from a lady wishing to voice her feelings and opinions to me on what she thought of my weekly columns; more so, of what I did, not have in them...May I extend my thanks to her for taking the time to call me directly. It is my sincere hope to gradually make this Newtonville column more and more a "community" column. .To make it one that eventually eventually each and every area resident will feel part of, sooner or later...not just an elite few. Truly, I am happy to accept all contribution..special events and occasions, occasions, announcements and achievements that touch all of us personally. But I will never know some of these very important "Scoops" unless you tell me. To quote something from my June 8, 1988 column.."Be it known that I think Newtonville is a terrific place to live. What makes it so special is its people. Without those who have been here many, many years, it certainly would lack much of its unique history and charm. It is largely due to some of these folk that Newtonville has this little coL umn of voice and reflections.." Again, thank you. Durham East Agri- News by Barbara A. Weese R.Ô.S.
