MONDAYS TOGETHER WITH YOU

Good morning Wilmington!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas week and found time to relax and celebrate with loved ones. Unfortunately, we start the week with some sad news. Former President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. The Hill has shared a touching photo montage highlighting his presidential and post-presidential legacy. Closer to home, Wilmington mourns the loss of beloved actress Linda Lavin, star of Alice, who passed away at 87. Linda was a cherished member of our community and the founder of the Red Barn Studio Theatre.
