For too long I have taken leave from this column to deal with personal and family health problems.

During that time, with James Spurck doing most of the work, we transformed from print to digital newspaper. We closed out and moved from the offices on Pine Knoll Drive and opened smaller offices at 1 Chick Springs Road, a little closer to downtown Greenville with the assistance of Willis Meadows, Insurance Executive and member of Greenville County Council.

The Armistias was signed and World War I ended on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month one hundred years ago Sunday. It was said to be the war to end all wars. It certainly did not accomplish that goal.

A group of citizens are raising funds to build a World War I memorial. They are saying no memorial was ever built to honor those who fought, and thousands died in that war. That is not true. I visited the World War I Memorial several years ago and photographed the deplorable condition it had been allowed to become due to neglect and lack of care and maintenance.

Our nation is at war with itself. We pretend that our political competition is between Republicans and Democrats, however, it is not that simple. It is a battle that is as old as the world itself. It is a battle between good and evil that began in the Garden of Eden.

The advocates of evil are intentionally confusing the English language and calling evil good and good evil. Government schools are no longer teaching factual history; therefore, the younger generation of Americans do not know facts of history or have appreciation for the sacrifices their ancestors made for them.

Finally, the transition from print to digital newspaper is complete, and the downscale of office space is virtually complete. The new office address is: The Times Examiner, 1 Chick Springs Road, Suite 110-B, Greenville, S.C. 29609.

This has been a major adjustment after 25 years of virtually the same routine every week. We resisted the elimination of the printed paper as long as we could. The expense eventually became more than we could handle without going into debt or getting financial help from friends.
