Bravo, Chris Cox

To the Editor: I enjoy the articles written by Chris Cox. They are always thoughtful and thought provoking. I particularly appreciated his Feb. 8 article about meeting Jean Ellen Magers and beginning his work at Southwestern Community College. 

We never know when life will take a turn. Often some unexpected event or person or conversation will push us in a new direction. Chris’ one hour conversation 28 years ago changed his life. Luckily he was open to it. He is better for it and so is Southwestern. 

By the way Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen are as good as any.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
