To the Editor:
It was with some amusement and nostalgia that I listened to WNOI’s report of last night’s North Clay School Board meeting. It seems the old feeling of animosity between Flora and Louisville has not waned over the years. Growing up in Louisville I was indoctrinated with the idea that Flora is our enemy - they want to steal the Courthouse from us - they already have stolen the County Hospital from it’s rightful location in the County Seat, etc. And living in Flora since 1964 it has become apparent that, even though we’re only eight miles apart, still, “the twain shall not meet”.
Good old fashioned rivalry is one thing, but being down-right unfriendly and not supporting each other continues to send a very negative message to our children. Paul Knapp is now feeling the brunt of this animosity.
