A difficult week

This has been a devasting week for the Lowcountry with the loss of so many who contributed so much to our communities. Their families and friends grieve their loss. But the potential good works these men would have given back to the schools, civic organizations and sports programs are a loss to all of us. This is a good time to reflect on the unsung heroes among us, those who give back in their everyday lives, people who reach out to others not only in their professional lives but in their private lives as well. Our goal this week has been to bring to our readers the stories of these men's lives, through recollections of those who knew them. The story has been an international one, the kind that is usually another place, with some other community in shock as we look on from our living rooms. This time it was us. This time we aren't the onlookers. We encourage your comments. Just click on the comments button at the bottom of this post.
