I'm wearing my Christmas tie today and I'm ready to pass
out some holiday wishes for some folks in our area. Here are a few items I'd like for Santa to
deliver this year:
For Mayor Bill Saffo, a major league reason to tell the
world why Wilmington is such a great place to live. But a minor league team and a new riverfront
ballpark would be just fine.
For UNCW Chancellor Gary Miller, a winning lottery ticket
big enough to help offset those many budget cuts at our local university.
For Commissioner Brian Berger, a personal assistant to try
to help get him to his meetings on time.
For UNCW coaches Buzz Peterson and Cynthia Cooper-Dyke, a
recruiting class full of tall, quick and talented players.
For Congressman Mike McIntyre, a mud-deflector shield for
2012. Once that campaign gets underway,
you know he's going to need it.
For Jimmy English, our own wildlife rescuer and alligator
catcher, a full-time cameraman so he can have his own local reality show.
For Chamber CEO, Connie Majure-Rhett, the "future" that
the Cape Fear Future Commission is envisioning.
And for our many viewers, I hope you find everything
you're looking for under your tree. And
I really hope you get to surround yourself with friends and family and have a
safe and enjoyable holiday.
Merry Christmas!
