Together

Our second Mountain Democrat column has been published this year (April 23rd, 2012) ~ “Together” ~ written by Marcia Rose. Opening paragrah: “Did you hear that Mary Jones died? She committed suicide. You probably know that she had a history of mental illness.” With those few sentences, each of us is capable of creating our own inaccurate story about Mary Jones and...
