The Little Match Girl

and worn shawl did not keep out the cold and she tried to keep her bare

retiring. Not many people get to finish their career doing what they
love… then retire doing what they love. May I wish the same for all of
our readers during this Christmas Holiday Season. Also in News: House Republicans move to unify primary, avoid $15 million second vote; and Conservative pundits turn down Newt. Community: Greenville Schools Foundation... Thank you for your help in our auction. Blogs: A Confederacy of Dunces; and Eric Holder Impeached is a Good First Start. For
