either of the latter two items in this County since I returned six months ago!) In this County I own exactly one Ford automobile (sans CB radio set). That’s all. Moreover, I’ll trade my personal income right now for that of any teacher on the County payroll. Does that take care of that, "CP”?
1 think "CP” owes me a personal apology, delivered exactly as the affront was delivered, i.e., in the Rappahannock News. Also, I ask “CP” to address these points, along with the expected apology:
