Letters to the Editor: Remembering Sen. Graham
My mama always said if you can’t say something nice about someone, don’t say anything at all. Apparently Carol Lucas never heard this proverb despite saying that she was of the generation that “stands pretty staunchly behind the notion that one does not speak ill of the dead.”
Lucas: Run, Darline, run
I don’t think it is an understatement to suggest that when Gov. McMaster put forth Darline Graham’s name to fulfill the remainder of her late brother’s term in the U.S. Senate, it was intended to be a nod to the memory of Lindsey Graham.
